QUESTION:

A fabric used in air-inflated structures is subjected to a biaxial loading that results in normal stresses \(\sigma_{x}=18 \mathrm{ksi} \text { and } \sigma_{z}=24 \mathrm{ksi}\). Knowing that the properties of the fabric can be approximated as \(E=12.6 \times 10^{6} \text { psi and } \nu=0.34\), determine the change in length of (a) side AB, (b) side BC, (c) diagonal AC.
