Question

A RECTANGULAR ALUMINUM BLOCK IS 40mm LONG IN THE Y DIRECTION,
20mm WIDE IN THE Z DIRECTION AND 25mm THICK IN THE X
DIRECTION. IT IS SUBJECTED TO A TRIAXIAL LOADING CONSISTING OF A
UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED FORCE OF Px=3kN (COMPRESSION), Py=4kN
(TENSION) AND Pz=7kN (COMPRESSION) IN THE X, Y AND Z DIRECTIONS
RESPECTIVELY. IF THE POISSON’S RATIO = 1/4 & E = 70 GPa,
DETERMINE THE STRAINS IN THE X, Y AND Z DIRECTIONS. ALSO
DETRMINE A SINGLE DISTRIBUTED FORCE IN THE Y DIRECTION THE
WOULD PRODUCE THE SAME X DEFORMATION AS THE ORIGINAL.
