Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a cylindrical object being rotated at constant angular velocity. Analyze how the basis vectors affect the tangential and radial forces acting on the surface.

💡 Hint: Think about how forces apply differently across the directions of e_r and e_θ.

Question 2

Evaluate the stress transformations occurring within a cylindrical element subjected to internal pressure. Explain how basis vectors influence stress distribution.

💡 Hint: Map out the stresses concerning each basis vector to grasp the interactions clearly.
