Advanced Mechanics of Solids Assignment

1. The document provides two mechanics of solids problems to calculate principal strains and stresses at given points under certain stress conditions. It also asks to summarize St. Venant's principle for end effects and distinguish between plane stress and plane strain with examples. 2. The first problem provides stress components and asks to find principal strains and their direction. The second provides different stress components and asks to find principal stresses and direction of largest tensile stress. 3. The final questions ask to summarize St. Venant's principle with an example, and provide examples of plane stress and plane strain to distinguish between the two concepts.
