Knowing that the properties of the fabric can be approximated as E=87 GPa and ν= 0.34, determine the change in length of (a) side AB, (b) side BC, (c) diagonal AC.arrow_forwardTo determine the state of stress in a solid rod using the principle of superposition. A solid rod has a diameter of e� = 55 mmmm and is subjected to the loading shown. Let a� = 200 mmmm , b� = 220 mmmm , c� = 350 mmmm , d� = 250 mmmm , and P� = 3.0 kNkN .
