Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A cuboidal element experiences different tensions on each face. How do you derive the total stress tensor considering these factors?
💡 Hint: Use the definition of the stress tensor in relation to the forces applied.
Question 2
In a beam under bending, how would tensile and compressive stresses distribute through the material? Provide reasoning.
💡 Hint: Think about how loads act on beams and how materials respond physically.
