Question-1(64)

The state of stress at a point is shown on the element. Construct Mohr circle and determine the
following:(12)

a. Principal stresses (10)

b. Maximum in plane shear stress & Average normal stress (10)
c. Principle angles (8)
d. Maximum shear angles planes (8)
e. Absolute maximum shear stress (6)
f. Determine if the failure has occurred based on maximum shear stress theory if the yielding
stress is 200MPa. (10)

Question-2(36)

A differential element of material at a point is subjected to a state of plane strain defined by

ϵx=500x10-6 , ϵy=200x10-6,γxy=400x10-6, which tends to distort the element as shown in figure.
Determine the equivalent strains acting on an element of the material oriented at the point,
anticlockwise 30° from the original position. Also draw the stress on the oriented element. Use the
transformation equation. (10+10+10+6).
