1) For a material with G = 80 GPa and E = 200 GPa, determine the strain tensor for a state of
stress given by
45 −5 12
[𝜎𝑖𝑗 ] = [−5 20 10] MPa.
12 10 9

2) If the strain at appoint are εx = 350 µ, εy = 700 µ and xy = -600 µ, what are the principal strains,
and in what direction do they occur? Use Mohr’s circle of strain.

3) Problem 2.15 in the textbook.

4) Problem 2.35 in the textbook.
5) Problem 2.59 in the textbook.
