Question: Problem 4 A 5 0 m m cube of an orthotropic graphite reinforced epoxy is extended in the 1 direction by 0 . 5 m

Problem 4 A 50mm cube of an orthotropic graphite reinforced epoxy is extended in the 1 direction by 0.5mm and is constrained against contractions in the 3 direction: no strain in that direction. There is no constraint in the 2-direction. What is the normal strain in the 2 direction and the normal stresses along the 1 and 3 directions? The compliance matrix is given below.
