Question: 3 . 2 1 . A member whose material properties remain unchanged ( invariant ) under rotations of 9 0 about axes ( x ,

3.21. A member whose material properties remain unchanged (invariant) under rotations of 90 about axes (x,y,z) is called a cubic material relative to axes
(x,y,z) and has three independent elastic coefficients (C1,C2,C3). Its stress-strain relations relative to axes (x,y,z) are (a special case of Eq.3.50
=C1lon+C2lonyy+C2lonzz
yy=C2lon+C1lonyy+C2lonzz
zz=C2lon+C2lonyy+C1lonzz
xy=C3xy
xz=C3xz
yz=C3yz
Although in practice aluminum is often assumed to be an isotropic material (E=72GPa and v=0.33), it is actually a cubic material with C1=103GPa,C2=55
GPa , and C3=27.6GPa. At a point in an airplane wing, the strain components are lon=0.0003,lonyy=0.0002,lonzz=0.0001,lonxy=0.00005, and lonxz=lonyz=0.
a. Determine the orientation of the principal axes of strain.
b. Determine the stress components.
c. Determine the orientation of the principal axes of stress.
d. Calculate the stress components and determine the orientation of the principal axes of strain and stress under the assumption that the aluminum is
isotropic.
