1. Consider the stress state of a point as given by the matrix:

1 2 1
[𝜎𝑖𝑗 ] = [2 −2 −3] 𝑘𝑃𝑎
1 −3 4
Determine:

(i) Principal stresses


(ii) Maximum shear stress
(iii) Equation of the largest Mohr’s circle and also draw the Mohr’s circle of stress
(iv) Octahedral normal stress and the octahedral shear stress
(v) Deviatoric stress matrix [10 Marks]

2. The strain rosette shown in the Figure 1 is mounted on a beam. The following readings are
obtained from each gauge:
∈1 = 320 𝜇, ∈2 = −500 𝜇, ∈3 = 360 𝜇
Calculate:
(i) ∈𝑥𝑥 , ∈𝑦𝑦 and 𝛾𝑥𝑦
(ii) In-plane maximum normal strains and their orientations
(iii) The maximum in-plane shear strain

Also draw the Mohr’s circle of strain.
