Assignment 5

This document contains an assignment for an applied mechanics course consisting of 5 questions regarding strain calculations for deformed plates and structures. Students are asked to determine average normal strain along a diagonal of a square plate with given normal and shear strains at points, shear strain at a point with respect to rotated axes for a deformed square plate, shear strain at a point for a uniformly deformed plate with a given shear strain, average normal strain in a wire attached to a rotated lever arm, and approximate normal strain in a guy wire connecting tilted building frame columns. The assignment is due on December 22nd and is worth a total of 10 marks.

Q No.1
The square plate is deformed into the shape shown by the dashed lines.
If DC has a normal strain 𝜀𝑥 = 0.004. DA has a normal strain 𝜀𝑦 = 0.005
and at D, 𝛾𝑥𝑦 = 0.02 rad. Determine the average normal strain along the
diagonal CA.

The square plate ABCD is deformed into the shape shown by


the dashed lines. If DC has a normal strain 𝜀𝑥 = 0.004. DA has a
normal strain 𝜀𝑦 = 0.005 and at D, 𝛾𝑥𝑦 = 0.02 rad. Determine the
shear strain at point E with respect to the 𝑥 ′ and 𝑦 ′ axes.

The plate is deformed uniformly into the shape shown by the dashed
lines. If at A, 𝛾𝑥𝑦 = 0.0075 rad while 𝜀𝐴𝐵 = 𝜀𝐴𝐹 = 0. Determine the shear
strain at point G with respect to the 𝑥 ′ and 𝑦 ′ axes.

The force applied to the handle of the rigid lever arm causes the arm to
rotate clockwise through an angle of 3° about pin A. Determine the
average normal strain developed in the wire. Originally, the wire is
unstretched.

The guy wire AB of a building frame is originally unstretched. Due to
an earthquake, the two columns of the frame tilt Determine the
approximate normal strain in the wire when the frame is in this
position. Assume the columns are rigid and rotate about their lower
supports.
