|AL BFC 20903 QI. (@) Explain with the aid of sketches the terms i) Principal stresses Q - The principal stresses represent the maximum and minimum normal stress at the point. = When the state of stress is represented by the principal stresses ¢, and a , no shear stress T will act on the element. 4 ¥ In-plane principal stresses ii) Maximum in-plane shear stress Q - The maximum in-plane shear stress Tmax Will be achieved when the principal stresses 0, and a2 of an element is obtained. - The maximum shear stress will act at 45° from the position of an element that is subjected to the principal stress 1%, = Hp, = 9(b) FIGURE Q1 shows an element at maximum in-plane shear stress Tar ~ 82 MPa and average normal stress, Ogyg = 35 MPa. By measuring angle 0, = 21° clock wise form the point of maximum in-plane shear stress; i) Construct and draw the Mohr Circle. Show the point of maximum in-plane shear stress, average normal stress and angle 0, = 21° o ii) From the Mohr Circle obtained in Qi(a), determine the normal stresses of 6, , oy and shear stress Ty. Sketch the orientation of the stress block. © iii) From the Mohr Circle obtained in Q1(a), determine the principal stresses of o , 03 and principal angle @p. Sketch the orientation of the stress block. © Tmax = 82 MPa avg = 35 MPa 0, =21° FIGURE QLpissuisg
