1. A strip of metal is subjected to a uniform tension stress σyy = σ, as shown in
the figure below (5)

(a) Calculate the shear stress σαβ acting on a plane that is 45° to the horizontal axis. (2)
(b) Write a general expression for the shear stress σαβ on a plane making an arbitrary angle θ
with the horizontal axis. (2)
(c) Show that σαβ is maximum at θ= 45°. (1)
2. Determine the invariants, and principal values and directions of the following matrices. Use
the determined principal directions to transform the given matrix in the principal system
and arrive at the appropriate diagonal form. (10)

calculate the strains εx and εy, along the edges and use the strain transformation
equations to find the strain along the diagonal and compare the two values of εx’.

rectangle.

is a constant. Determine and plot the deformed shape of a differential rectangular element
originally located with its left bottom corner at the origin as shown in the following figure.

7. A rosette strain gage is an electromechanical device that can measure relative surface
elongations in three directions. Bonding such a device to the surface of a structure allows
determination of elongational strains in particular directions. A schematic of one such gage is

the gage arms a, b and c. Angle between arm a and arm b is 60° and angle between arm b and
arm c is also 60°. Using the two dimensional strain transformation relations, calculated the
surface strain components εx, εy and γxy. (6)

8. The measured strains for a rectangular rosette, attached to a stresses steel member are 𝜀0° =
