Chapter 10, Problem 10.16P

(a)

To determine

Find the effective normal stress σ on the plane of maximum shear stress.

(b)

use mhors circle a.What is the value of the minimum stress in psf? b.What is the value of the normal stress acting at the plane AB in psf? c.What is the value of the shear stress acting at the plane AB in psf?
The major and minor principal stresses acting at a point in a stressed material are 80 psi compression and 20 psi tension. (a) Draw the Mohr’s circle for this stress combination. (b) What is the maximum shear stress acting at the point, and what value of normal stress acts on the plane? (c) Determine the value of the shear and normal stresses acting on a plane that is 30° ccw from the major principal plane.
a) At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal tensile stress of 20 MPa is acting on a vertical plane. The normal compressive stress of 30 MPa is developing on a horizontal plane.Unknown negative shear stress also exists on the vertical plane.i) Show these stresses on an appropriate sketch.ii) Determine the unknown negative shear stress if the maximum shear stress at the point has a magnitude of 32 MPa.iii)Determine the principal stresses, normal and shear stress if the element oriented 500from the x-axis.
