The block shown is made of a material for which E= 25 GPa and Poisson's Ratio is equal to 0.30. Knowing that

The block shown is made of a material for which E= 25 GPa and Poisson's Ratio is equal to 0.30. Knowing that the block is compressed by 100 MPa stresses in x- and y- directions as shown in the figure and is free to expand in z-direction, determine; (a) the change in the lengths of the sides DC, DG and DA, (b) the dilatation, e, (change in volume per unit volume) of the block. 25 mm 40 mm D 100 mm B X
