Question: Consider a A 2 4 2 steel ( corrosion resistant ) plate used in the construction of an oil rig. The plate is loaded in

Consider a A242 steel (corrosion resistant) plate used in the construction of an oil rig. The plate is loaded in-plane with a stress defined by 11=150,22=50,12=50. If the yield stress in shear is =100 and the material can be described by the von Mises theory, determine: (a)(5p) Does the part yield? (b)(5p) Does it yield after it is placed in service, submerged in the ocean at 1 Km depth? (c)(5p) Where (on the surface of the plate) do you expect the first signs of corrosion to be observed?
