Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a stress matrix [σ] = [[4, 2], [2, 5]] and a rotation of 60 degrees, find σ_new. Verify your result by checking the traction on certain planes.
💡 Hint: Ensure to keep track of the angles in radians or degrees.
You're provided a stress tensor value. If you rotate the coordinate system by 90 degrees, explain how the matrix representation shifts.
💡 Hint: Visualize the rotation and apply the transformation equations accordingly.
