Question
A linear elastic structure under plane stress condition is subjected to two sets of loading, I and II. The resulting states of stress at a point corresponding to these two loadings are as shown in the figure below. If these two sets of loading are applied simultaneously, then the net normal component of stress σxx is ________.
Options :
3𝜎/2
𝜎(1 + 1/√2)
𝜎/2
𝜎(1 - 1/√2)
Answer :
𝜎/2
Solution :
σx1 = 0, σy1 = σ, τx1, y1 = 0, θ = 45°
σx =
σx = σ/2
Net normal stress
σxx = σ + σx = σ + σ/2
