Chapter 14 Problem 14-2

Question

The strain-energy density for plane stress must be the same whether the state of stress is represented by \(\sigma_{x}\), \(\sigma_{y}\) , and \(\tau_{x y}\). or by the principal stresses \(\sigma_{1}\) and \(\sigma_{2}\). This being the case, equate the strain–energy expressions for each of these two cases and show that G = E/[2(1 + v)].

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 14 problem number 2 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The strain-energy density for plane stress must be the same whether the state of stress is represented by \(\sigma_{x}\), \(\sigma_{y}\) , and \(\tau_{x y}\). or by the principal stresses \(\sigma_{1}\) and \(\sigma_{2}\). This being the case, equate the strain–energy expressions for each of these two cases and show that G = E/[2(1 + v)].
From the textbook chapter Energy Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
