Tutorial Questions

1.

Rotate the stress element 15° anticlockwise.

2. Consider a plane stress element shown in the figure below representing the state of
stress at a material’s point. If the magnitudes of the stresses are such that σx=150 MPa,
σy=100 MPa, and τxy=75 MPa. Use Mohr’s circle to determine the following:

a. Principal stresses
b. Max shear stress in plane
c. Specify the orientation for a and b
d. Find the state of stress for the element rotated 25° clockwise

3. Consider a plane stress element shown in the figure below representing the state of
stress at a material’s point. If the magnitudes of the stresses are such that
σ x =84 MPa ; σ y =28.9 MPa∧τ xy =32.4 MPa . Use Mohr’s circle to determine the
following.

a. Principal stresses
b. Max shear stress in plane
c. Specify the orientation for a and b
d. Find the state of stress for the element rotated 20° clockwise
