Strength Of Materials

  1. A square plate of dimension L × L is subjected to a uniform pressure load p = 250 MPa on its edges as shown in the figure. Assume plane stress conditions. The Young's modulus E= 200 GPa.

    The deformed shape is a square of dimension L – 2δ. If L = 2 m and δ = 0.001 m, the Poisson's ratio of the piate material is ________.
    1. 0.2
    2. 7
    3. 9
    4. 0.8
Correct Option: A

ΔV
=
σ
(1 − v)
VE

εv = εx + εy εz
εv =
σ
μσ
+
σ
μσ
μ(σ + σ)
EEEEE

Due to plane stress condition εz = 0
εv =
σ
× 2 × (1 − μ)
E

(2 − 2 × 0.001)2
= −
P
× 2(1 − μ)
22E

− 2 × 10−3 =
250
× 2 × (1 − μ)
200 × 103

250
= 1 − μ
200

0.8 = 1 − μ
∴  μ = 0.2
