Strain gauges mounted on a free surface of a piece of steel


Strain gauges mounted on a free surface of a piece of steel (= 205 GPa, υ = 0.29) indicate strains of ε= -0.00042, ε= 0.00071, and γ xy = 0.00037.

A. Calculate the principal strains.

B. Use Hooke's laws to ?nd the principal stresses from the principal stresses.

C. Calculate σxσy, and τ xy directly from εxεy, and γ xy.

D. Calculate the principal stresses directly from σxσy, and τ xy and compare your answers with the answers to B.
