Question:

A uniform edge load of 500 lb/in. and 350 lb/in. is applied to the polystyrene specimen. If the specimen is originally square and has dimensions of a = 2 in., b = 2 in., and a thickness of t = 0.25 in., determine its new dimensions a€², b€², and t€² after the load is applied. E_p= 597(10³) psi and Î½_p= 0.25.

350 lb/in. 500 lb /in. a = 2 in. Eb = 2 in.-
