ASSIGNMENT NO 4 GENERAL HOOKE’S LAW 1. A square plate in the side of a ship with 800 𝑚𝑚 sides parallel to the 𝑥 and 𝑦 axes has a uniform thickness ℎ = 10 𝑚𝑚 and is made of an isotropic steel (𝐸 = 200 𝐺𝑃𝑎 and 𝜈 = 0.29). The plate is subjected to a uniform state of stress. If 𝜎𝑧 = 𝜎𝑦𝑧 = 𝜎𝑧𝑥 = 0 (plane stress), 𝜎𝑥 = 𝜎1 = 500 𝑀𝑃𝑎, and 𝜀𝑥 = 2𝜀𝑦 for the plate, determine 𝜎𝑦 = 𝜎2 and the final dimensions of the plate, assuming linearly elastic conditions. 2. A square plate in the side of a ship with 800 𝑚𝑚 sides parallel to the 𝑥 and 𝑦 axes has a uniform thickness ℎ = 10 𝑚𝑚 and is made of an isotropic steel (𝐸 = 200 𝐺𝑃𝑎 and 𝜈 = 0.29). The plate is subjected to plane of strain (𝜀𝑧 = 𝜀𝑦𝑧 = 𝜀𝑧𝑥 = 0). If 𝜎𝑥 = 𝜎1 = 500 𝑀𝑃𝑎, 𝜀𝑥 = 2𝜀𝑦 , determine the magnitudes 𝜎𝑦 = 𝜎2 and 𝜎𝑧 = 𝜎3 , assuming linearly elastic conditions. 3. For an isotropic elastic medium subjected to a hydrostatic state of stress, 𝜎𝑥 = 𝜎𝑦 = 𝜎𝑧 = −𝑝, where 𝑝 denotes pressure. Show that for this state of stress 𝑝 = −𝐾𝑒, where 𝐾 = 𝐸/[3(1 − 2𝜈)] is the bulk modulus and 𝑒 = 𝜀𝑥 + 𝜀𝑦 + 𝜀𝑧 is the classical small-displacement cubical strain (also called the volumetric strain). 4. A triaxial state of principal stress acts on the faces of a unit cube of soil. Show that these stresses will not produce a volume change if 𝜈 = 0.5. Assume soil is a linearly elastic isotropic material. If 𝜈 ≠ 0.5, show that the condition necessary for the volume to remain unchanged is for 𝜎1 + 𝜎2 + 𝜎3 = 0. 5. A steel plate ((𝐸 = 200 𝐺𝑃𝑎 and 𝜈 = 0.29) is subjected to a state of plane stress (𝜎𝑥 = −80 𝑀𝑃𝑎, 𝜎𝑦 = 100 𝑀𝑃𝑎, and 𝜎𝑥𝑦 = 50 𝑀𝑃𝑎). Determine the principal stresses and principal strains. 6. A steel element (𝐸 = 207 𝐺𝑃𝑎 and 𝐺 = 80 𝐺𝑃𝑎) is subjected to the following state of strain: 0.001 0 −0.002 [𝜀𝑖𝑗 ] = [ 0 −0.003 0.0003 ] −0.002 0.0003 0 Determine the stress matrix. 7. A rubber cube shown in Figure P4.7 is inserted in a cavity of the same form and size in a steel block and the top of the cube is pressed by a steel block with a pressure of 𝑝 pascals. Considering the steel to be absolutely hard and assuming that there is no friction between steel and rubber, find (a) the pressure of rubber against the box walls, and (b) the extremum shear stresses in rubber. 8. A thin rubber sheet is enclosed between two fixed hard steel plates (see Figure P4.8). Friction between the rubber and steel faces is negligible. If the rubber plate is subjected to stresses 𝜎𝑥 and 𝜎𝑦 as shown, determine the strains 𝜀𝑥 and 𝜀𝑦 and also the stress 𝜎𝑧 . 9. The nonzero strain components at a critical point in an aluminum spar of an airplane (𝐸 = 72 𝐺𝑃𝑎 and 𝜈 = 0.33) are measured on a free surface as 𝜀𝑥 = 0.002, 𝜀𝑥 = 0.001 and 𝜀𝑥𝑦 = 0.001. (a) Determine the corresponding nonzero stress components. (b) A design criterion for the spar is that the maximum shear stress cannot exceed 𝜏𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 70 𝑀𝑃𝑎. Is this condition satisfied for the measured strain state?
