Pre-analysis and start-up
Analytical Approach:
Assuming plane stresses:
The two dimensional equilibrium equations are:
\begin
+ {\partial \tau_
\over \partial y} + F_x = 0 \nonumber
{\partial \tau_
\over \partial x} +
+ F_y = 0 \nonumber
\end
Since we are ignoring the effects of gravity; there are no body forces per unit volume.
\begin
F_x = F_y =0\nonumber
\end
Assuming no normal stress in the y direction://
\begin
\sigma_y = 0\nonumber
\end
The two dimensional equilibrium equations are:
\begin
+ {\partial \tau_
\over \partial y} + F_x = 0 \nonumber
{\partial \tau_
\over \partial x} +
+ F_y = 0 \nonumber
\end
Since we are ignoring the effects of gravity; there are no body forces per unit volume.
\begin
F_x = F_y =0\nonumber
\end
Assuming no normal stress in the y direction://
\begin
\sigma_y = 0\nonumber
\end
The equilibrium equation in the y direction becomes:
\begin
{\partial \tau_
\over \partial x} = 0\nonumber
\end
τ_yx must also be a constant, therefore the equilibrium equation in the x-direction becomes:
\begin
= 0\nonumber
\end
Therefore;
Apply Boundary Conditions:
If we make a cut at "A", as indicated in the problem specification, then the stress in A must be P/A.
Therefore,
