1. Let the state of stress at a point be specified by the following stress components: σxx
= 110 MPa, σyy = - 86 MPa, σzz = 55 MPa, σxy = σyx = 60 MPa and σyz = σzx = 0. Determine
the principal stresses, the direction cosines for the three principal stress directions
and the maximum shearing stress.
2. The non zero stress components are σxx = 150 MPa, σyy = 70 MPa, σzz = - 80 MPa and
σxy = - 45 MPa. Determine the principal stresses and the maximum shearing stress.
Determine the angle between the X – axis and the x-axis when the X-axis is in the
direction of the principal stress with largest absolute magnitude.

directions and the maximum shearing stress.

that is equally inclined to all the three axes.

expansion along its 30 mm x 200 mm sides by surrounding materials. Find the change
in dimension and volume when compressive force of 180 kN acts in axial direction.
Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and ν = 0.3. What are the changes, if surrounding material

of three mutually perpendicular forces: 5 kN in tension on opposite 75 x 50 mm faces,
10 kN in compression on 100 x 50 mm faces. Find the magnitude and nature of the
maximum force that may act on the 100 x 75 mm faces and change in length in each
side. Take K = 150 GPa and ν = 0.27.
