Chapter 10.3, Problem 10.17P

Solve Prob.10−3  using Mohr’s circle.

10−3. The state of strain at the point on the pin leaf has components of ε_x = 200(10⁻⁶), ε_y = 180(10⁻⁶), and γ_xy = −300(10⁻⁶). Use the strain transformation equations and determine the equivalent in-plane strains on an element oriented at an angle of θ = 60° counterclockwise from the original position, Sketch the deformed element due to these strains within the x–y plane.
