A point in a structural member is subjected to plane strain. Determine the larger principal strain in the x-y plane.εx = 310 μεεy = 540 μεγxy = 880 μrad

A pipeline with an outside diameter of 415 mm and a wall thickness of 11 mm is pressurized to 3.3 MPa. Due to thermal expansion, a compressive force of 21 kN is generated along the length of the pipes. Determine the normal stress along the length of the pipes. Ignore the bending stresses due to the weight of the pipes and the fluid that they contain.

Force P = 41 N is applied to a lever at the end of a 30-mm-diameter shaft. Force Q = 190 N is applied directly to the shaft. Determine the magnitude of the shear stress τyz at point K. Let a = 140 mm and b = 240 mm.

A pipeline with an outside diameter of 420 mm and a wall thickness of 10 mm is pressurized to 2.3 MPa. Due to thermal expansion, a compressive force of 32 kN is generated along the length of the pipes. Determine the normal stress along the length of the pipes. Ignore the bending stresses due to the weight of the pipes and the fluid that they contain.

Force P = 44 N is applied to a lever at the end of a 30-mm-diameter shaft. Force Q = 875 N is applied directly to the shaft. Determine the normal stress σy at point K. Let a = 135 mm and b = 220 mm.
