Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a rectangular block subjected to a uniaxial load, derive the normal and shear stresses on a plane inclined at 30 degrees.

💡 Hint: Remember to consider angles and trigonometric identities in your answers.

Challenge 2 Hard

For a material subjected to biaxial stress, construct the Mohr's Circle and find the maximum shear stress.

💡 Hint: Use the properties of the circle to evaluate stress points effectively.
