Question: Material: Copper Alloy; Elastic Modulus, E = 1 6 . 0 Mpsi; Poisson's Ratio, v = 0 . 3 4 3 ; Yield Strength, o

Material: Copper Alloy; Elastic Modulus, E =16.0 Mpsi; Poisson's Ratio, v =0.343; Yield
Strength, o=4.83ksi; Tensile Strength, u=30.5ksi
The beam geometry and load configuration is shown in the following figure:
The measured strains with the 3 lb load applied were
A=102,B=-54,C=26(5 points) Use your "Experimental Mohr's Strain Circle" to calculate the strain on a
single strain gage mounted such that the axis through this gage is oriented 30 degrees
clockwise from the L-axis of the beam. Use the Mohr's Circle and Hooke's Law to
determine the normal stress component on the plane of a stress element oriented 30
degrees clockwise from the L-axis. In other words, what would a 30 degree clockwise
off L-axis (longitudinal axis) strain gage read when the 3-pound load is applied, and
what is the measured normal stress in that direction?
(5 points) Use your "Theoretical Mohr's Stress Circle" to determine the theoretical
normal stress on an element face or plane rotated 30 degrees counterclockwise from
the T-axis (transverse axis), and then determine the predicted normal strain in the
direction of that axis. In other words, what is the theoretical normal stress on an
element face oriented 30 degree counterclockwise off the T-axis with the 3-pound
load applied, and what is the predicted theoretical normal strain in that direction?
