Question
An element in plane stress from the frame of a racing car is oriented at a known angle theta (see figure). On this inclined element, the normal and shear stresses have the magnitudes and directions shown in the figure. Determine the normal and shear stresses acting on an element whose sides are parallel to the xy axes, that is, determine sigma x, sigma y, and tau xy. Show the results on a sketch of an element oriented at theta = theta degree. Solve the preceding problem for the element shown in the figure. Draw Mohr's circle & label points on circle for x & y faces of elementExplanation / Answer
