MM655 Spring 2019: Homework 1

Due: January 31, 2019


You may use a calculator or a computer to solve for the roots of the cubic equation for Eigen
value problems. Show all steps leading to this in writing.
1. Given:

1  0 12 1 2   9 1 0
a  1  , b  1  , C   1 3 8 , D  17 1 0
     
7  3   2 8 6   2 4 3

For indicated ranks of all vectors/tensors represented by matrices above, write the following
expressions in indicial notation, expand in component form, and then evaluate components and
present in matrix form.

(a) a  b
(b) b  C
(c) tr  D 
(d) C  D
(e) b  D

2. If A and B are 2nd rank tensors and t , u , v and w are vectors, prove the following using
indicial notation.

(a) A : B  tr  A  BT 

(b)  t  u    v  w   t  v  u  w   t  w  u  v 

(c)  t  u  v  w   t  w u  v   u  w v  t   v  w  t  u

3. Write the following expressions in indicial notation and expand in component form (  is a
scalar and A is a 2nd rank symmetric tensor).

(a)  2

(b)   A  

4. If  and  are scalars and a is a vector, prove the following identities using indicial
notation:

(a)      0

(b)     a   0

(c)       2   

5. Determine the invariants of the stress tensor, the principal deviatoric stresses, the invariants of
the deviatoric stress tensor, and the hydrostatic stress for each of the following cases:

(a) uniaxial state of stress (  11   ,  22   33   12   23   31  0 )

(b) pure shear (  12   ,  11   22   33   23   31  0 )

(c) hydrostatic state of stress (  11   22   33  p,  12   23   31  0 )

6. The state of stress at a point in a component subjected to a monotonically increasing combined


loading is given by

 3x x  x 
   x 3x  x  MPa
  x  x 5 x 

where x increases from zero at the beginning of loading. A tensile test conducted on the same
material indicates that yielding occurs at a stress of 240 MPa. Determine the value of x which
yielding occurs at this point using the von Mises maximum octahedral stress criterion.
7. The state of stress at a material point is given by:

17.5 10 22.5
   10 30 10  MPa
 22.5 10 17.5 

(a) Determine the Eigen values and Eigen vectors for this stress tensor.

(b) Construct the transformation tensor, Q from the Eigen vectors and verify that Q  Q .

(c) Calculate the value of   Q    Q and verify that this tensor is diagonal.
