1) For a material with G = 80 GPa and E = 210 GPa, determine the strain tensor for a state of
stress given by
50 −10 5
[𝜎𝑖𝑗 ] = [−10 25 15] MPa.
5 15 12

2) If the strain at appoint are εx = 400 µ, εy = 800 µ and xy = -750 µ, what are the principal strains,
and in what direction do they occur? Use Mohr’s circle of strain.

3) Problem 2.4 in the textbook.

4) Problem 2.24 in the textbook.
5) Problem 2.36 in the textbook.
