The following questions are taken from R.C. Hibbeler, 7th Edition.

Question 1 (Problem 9.1)


Prove that the sum of the normal stresses σx + σy = σx' + σy' is constant. See Figs. 9-2a and 9-2b.

Question 2 (Problem 9.4 and 9.5) Question 3


The state of stress at a point in a member is shown on The state of stress at a point in a member is shown on
the element. Determine the stress components acting on the element. Determine the stress components acting on
the inclined plane AB. Solve the problem using first the inclined plane AB. Solve the problem using first
principles and then check your answers using the principles and then check your answers using the
appropriate expressions given in equations 9.1 through appropriate expressions given in equations 9.1 through
9.3 (i.e. stress transformation equations). 9.3 (i.e. stress transformation equations).

τX'Y' = 65.86 MPa

Question 6
Determine σX and σY if, before the element was rotated, the shear stress, τxy = 39 MPa and after rotation of 290 anti-
clockwise, the stress on the 290 face was obtained as σx' = 91.02 MPa and τx'y' = 7.95 MPa. Assume that the x-axis is
horizontal at the start.

σx = 65.0 MPa

σY = 35.0 MPa

Question 7
What is the effect on the answers if the angle of rotation was 290 clockwise?
