Problem 1(30 points): Stress field within a loaded
continuum
Given the stress tensor, at a given point M,??(M)=([a,b,0],[b,c,0],[0,0,d])(vec(e)1,vec(e)2,vec(e)3)MPa
with a=20,b=34,c=88, and d=11
Describe the nature of the load
on surfaces of normal vec(e)1 and vec(e)2,
What is the characteristic of the surface of normal vec(e)3
Considering a surface, containing M, of normal vec(n)=4vec(e)1+4vec(e)2+4vec(e)3
A. Determine the stress vector acting on this surface
B. Determine the normal stress acting on this surface
C. Determine the magnitude of the shear stress acting on this surface
We are now studying the ultimate state of the continua at M
A. Determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the stress tensor at M
B. Determine the orientation of the surface experiencing the highest normal stress
