Part A
Draw the Mohr’s Circle to determine stains on inclined plane
Answer
Mohr's circle for strain is constructed on a coordinate system with normal strain (ε) on the horizontal axis and half-shear strain (γ/2) on the vertical axis. The circle is drawn by plotting points (εx, γxy/2) and (εy, -γxy/2) and connecting them. The intersection of the circle with the horizontal axis represents the principal strains, while the coordinates of any point on the circle represent the normal and shear strains on an inclined plane at a specific orientation.
Discuss the equations for plane stress and plane strain for 2D elastic body.
Answer
For a 2D elastic body, plane stress assumes stress components in the z-direction (σz, τxz, τyz) are zero, while plane strain assumes strain components in the z-direction (εz, γxz, γyz) are zero. The constitutive relations are modified accordingly: for plane stress, εz = -(ν/E)(σx + σy), and for plane strain, σz = ν(σx + σy), where ν is Poisson's ratio and E is Young's modulus.

Part B
The direct tensile and compressive stress is 60N/mm2 and 40N/mm2 respectively are applied on planes at right angles to each other. If the maximum principal stress is limited to 75N/mm2 (tensile), determine the shear stress that may be allowed on the planes. Also determine the minimum principal stress and the maximum shear stresses.

At a certain point in a strained material the intensities of normal stresses on two planes at right angles to each other are 20N/mm2 and 10N/mm2 both tensile. They are accompanied by shear stress of 10N/mm2. Calculate the principal planes and the principal stresses. Find also the maximum shear stress.

Calculate the maximum bending moment and the maximum deflection of a railroad. Rail is subjected to a single wheel load of 150 kN The elastic support for the rail has a spring constant of k=14 MN/m2. The moment of inertia of rail is 3700 × 10-8 m4, E=200GPa. Also calculate the maximum stress in the rail assuming that the depth of the rail is 200 mm and that the distance of the centroidal axis of the cross-section of the rail from the top surface is 100 mm.
