Question

At a point in a structure, there are two mutually perpendicular tensile stresses of 800 kg/cm2 and 400 kg/cm2. If the Poisson's ratio μ=0.25, what would be the equivalent stress in simple tension according to maximum principal strain theory?

Solution

The correct option is C 700 kg/cm2
According to maximum principal strain theory
fE=(σ1μσ2)E
The equivalent tensile stress

f=8000.25×400

=700kg/cm2
