8.5 The components of plane strain at point p are  x  0.003,  y  0 and  xy  0.

If   45º , what are the strains

 x ,  y  and  xy  at point p? (See the figure for Problems 8.5-8.11.)

Solution

From Eq. (8.7),

x  y x  y  xy
 x   cos 2  sin 2
2 2 2
0.003  0 0.003  0
  cos 2  45   0
2 2
 0.0015.
We can set  equal to   90  in Eq. (8.7) to determine  y ' :
x  y x  y  xy
 y   cos 2   90   sin 2   90 
2 2 2
0.003  0 0.003  0
  cos 2  45  90   0
2 2
 0.0015.
From Eq. (8.9),
 x y     x   y  sin 2   xy cos 2
   0.003  0   0
 0.003.

 x  0.0015,  y  0.0015,  x y   0.003.
