Question: Consider an orthotropic solid with engineering moduli E 1 1 = 1 4 0 GPa, E 2 2 = E 3 3 = 1 0

Consider an orthotropic solid with engineering moduli E11=140GPa,E22=E33=10
GPa,G12=G13=7GPa,G23=3.36GPa,v12=v13=0.3,v23=0.49.
a) Find the elastic constants C11,C22 and 3.
b) Consider the case where v12=v13=v23=0. Compare the values of E11,E22,E33
with C11,C22,C33 and comment on the results.
The body shown in the figure below is subjected to a 2 D plane stress field.
a) Express the stress components in tensor form.
b) Compute the stress tensor in the rotated coordinate system (x1',x2') given =20.
c) Express the stress tensor in contracted notation. Considering =45, what are the stresses (in vector form) in the rotated coordinate system (x1',x2').
d) What conclusions can you draw from the results obtained in part (a) and (b)? If is the fiber orientation, for the given stress conditions, what fiber orientations would you recommend for the lamina? Explain why.
