Assignment # 1

1. Explain Body forces, Surface forces and stress vector.

2. Explain “Cauchy’s stress formula” in detail.
3. Explain Principal stress.
4. Explain with neat sketch octahedral stress.
5. Explain the stress invariants.
6. The state of stress at a point in a body is specified by the following stress components:
Sigma x =110MPa txy = 60MPa
Sigma y = -86MPa t yz = t zx = 0
Sigma z = 55MPa. Determine the principal stresses, direction cosines of the principal
stress directions and the maximum shearing stress.
7. The state of stress at a point with respect to xyz coordinate system is given by

KN / mm2. Find the stress tensor relative to a new x'y'z' coordinate system

obtained by a rotation through 30˚ about the z axis.
