Assignement # 1 (Stress-Transformation)
Q # 2. The state of stress at a point is the result of two loadings. When acting separately, the loadings produce
the two states of stress shown in the figure. If the two loadings are applied simultaneously, find the
principal stresses and the principal planes. Show the results on properly oriented elements.
Q # 3. The figure shows the state of stress at a point. Knowing that the maximum in-plane shear stress at this
point is 10 MPa, determine the value of σy.

Q # 4. The figure shows the state of stress at a point. Knowing that the normal stress acting on the plane a – a is
4 ksi tension, determine the value of σx.
Q # 5. Two 50-mm by 100-mm wooden joists are glued together along a 40o joint as shown. Determine
(a) The state of stress at point A with respect to the xyz-axis; and
(b) The normal and shear stresses acting on the glued joint.
