1. Develop the compatibility conditions for three dimensional analysis in terms of stress components.
2. Calculate the strain components for a concrete specimen, the stress components for which are
12 −9
[ ]MPa.
−9 17
3. Derive the strain-displacement relationships for a three dimensional body in Cartesian coordinates.
4. Write short notes on
(i). Mean and deviator stresses.
(ii). Principle of superposition.
(iii). Octahedral stresses.
5. Obtain stress invariants for a three dimensional stress condition.
6. At a point in a loaded member, the stresses relative to an x, y, z coordinate system are given by
60 20 10
[20 −40 −5] 𝑀𝑃𝑎. Calculate the magnitude and direction of principal stress, the maximum
10 −5 30
shearing stress.
20 12 −15
7. The state of a stress in an x, y, z coordinate system is [ 12 0 10 ] 𝑀𝑃𝑎. Determine the stress
−15 10 6
and stress invariants relative to the xˊ, yˊ, zˊ coordinate system defined by rotating x, y through an
angle of 30o counterclockwise about the z axis.
8. At a point in a stressed body, the strains, related to the coordinate system x, y, z are given by

[300 −100 500 ] µ. Determine the strain invariants and the magnitude and direction of the
200 500 −400
principal strains.
9. Write short notes on Airy’s stress function and St. Venant’s principle.
