STRESS AND STRAIN TRANSFORMATIONS
ENGINERRING MECHANICS COURSE QUESTION
Obtain the off axis stress values for Element 1 and strain values for Element 2 rotated 45°counterclockwise, redraw the rotated element with the calculated values for stress and strain, and discuss.
Note: Tension is positive and compression is negative and a positive shear strain elongates the diagonal that goes from the bottom left of an element to the top right of an element.
Discuss the results and explain why the information is important (I.E. Related to failure mechanics and how much stress can be applied to a component before failure occurs).
