Chapter 10.5, Problem 29P

Q4 A three strain gages have been attached directly to a piston used to raise a medical chair, the strain gages give strains as Ea = 80 µ , Eb = 60 µ and Ec = 20 u . Determine the principal strains and the principal strain directions for the given set of strains. And Compute the strain in a direction -30° (clockwise) with the x axis. 45 Pump

The state of plane strain on an element is represented by the following components: Ex =D340 x 10-6, ɛ, = , yxy Ey =D110 x 10-6, 3D180 x10-6 ху Draw Mohr's circle to represent this state of strain. Use Mohrs circle to obtain the principal strains and principal plane.

The strain components ɛx, Ey, and yxy are given for a point in a body subjected to plane strain. Using Mohr's circle, determine the principal strains, the maximum in-plane shear strain, and the absolute maximum shear strain at the point. Show the angle 0p, the principal strain deformations, and the maximum in-plane shear strain distortion in a sketch. Ex = 0 HE, ɛy = 380 µɛ, Yxy = 230 µrad. Enter the angle such that -45° s 0,s+45°. Answer: Ep1 = με Ep2 = με Ymax in-plane = prad Yabsolute max. = prad 0, =
