HW9_1: AXIAL AND TRANSVERSE STRAINS - THE POISSON'S RATIO

Question

When no loads are applied, the isotropic elastic block depicted below is a cube of side L0=200 mm.

When the distributed load (surface traction) q=200 MPa is applied as shown below, the side length along the direction of the applied load extends to measure La=210 mm, and the side lengths perpendicular to the direction of the applied load contract to measure Lt=196 mm.

Obtain the numerical values for the Young's modulus (in GPa) and Poisson's ratio (dimensionless) of the material composing the block:

HW9_2: HOOKE'S LAW FOR NORMAL STRESSES AND STRAINS

When no loads are applied, an isotropic elastic block is a cube of side L0=100 mm with sides aligned with the Cartesian x, y, z axes. The modulus of the material is 30 GPa, and its Poisson's ratio is 0.4.

If normal stresses σxx=−150MPa, σyy=−30MPa, and σzz=90MPa are applied to the faces of the block, obtain the numerical values (in mm) of the deformed side lengths Lx, Ly, and Lz of the block.

Note: these measurements will be very precise! You will need to provide your answer to the second decimal digit.

HW9_3: BLOCK BETWEEN RIGID WALLS

A cube L0×L0×L0 of isotropic linear elastic material (properties E, ν) is placed between two rigid frictionless walls at fixed distance L0 and compressed by a lateral pressure p along the x-axis, as indicated in the figure. No loads or constraints are acting along the z-axis. Under the effect of the applied lateral pressure, the cube elongates in the direction normal to the plane of the figure (z-direction) and the strain in this direction is measured to be ϵzz=ϵ0.

HW9_3_1 : 40.0 POINTS

Obtain symbolic expressions for the applied pressure p and for the constraining normal stress along the y direction σyy exerted by the walls on the block.

Write your expressions in terms of the measured strain along the z-axis, ϵ0 (enter as epsilon_0) and of the elastic properties E, ν (enter ν as nu).

Can anyone help me on this question:

HW9_3: Design against buckling in a SD truss

We are considering again the truss in the figure, from homework problem HW4_2. The truss is loaded at joint C as indicated, and we had determined the axial forces in each of the bars using the method of joints.

From the solution to HW4_2, we had obtained:

N(AB)=2W
N(BC)=W
N(BD)=W
N(BE)=−2√W
N(CD)=−2√W
N(ED)=−W

Now you can take the magnitude of the applied load to be W=2 kN and the length L=4 m . Assume that the bars of the truss have a circular cross section and are made of steel, with a Young's modulus E=210 GPa and a failure strength (in tension and compression)
σ(f)=250 MPa

HW9_3_1
(24 points possible)

If you want a safety factor, SF=4 against both failure of the material, due to stresses that exceed its
failure strength, and collapse of the truss due to buckling of bars under compressive loading, obtain the numeric values, in mm, of the minimum radius of each of the bars of the truss.
