Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the application of Mohr's Circle and the rotation formula for stress transformation. Participants are attempting to identify errors in their calculations related to the transformation of shear and normal stresses.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion over obtaining a negative value for τx'y' using the formula -0.5(σx - σy)sin2θ + τxycos2θ, questioning where their working may have gone wrong.
  • Another participant references a specific formula from a linked document, indicating a reliance on external resources for their calculations.
  • Some participants inquire about the validity of using the transformation equation for their specific problem, suggesting uncertainty about the application of the formula.
  • Several posts express a lack of responses, indicating a potential difficulty in finding help or clarification on the topic.
  • One participant mentions trying to use sin2(-θ) and cos2(-θ) in their calculations, but still does not arrive at the expected answer, highlighting ongoing confusion.
  • Multiple participants request assistance, indicating a collective struggle with the problem at hand.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the correct application of the formula or the source of the errors, as participants express differing levels of understanding and seek clarification without arriving at a unified resolution.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific assumptions or definitions that might clarify their calculations, and there are unresolved mathematical steps in their reasoning.

Who May Find This Useful

Students or individuals studying mechanics of materials, particularly those dealing with stress transformation and Mohr's Circle, may find this discussion relevant.

or it's wrong to use the transformation equation to do this question?

I have also used sin2(-θ) and cos2(-θ) instead of sin2(θ) and cos2(θ), but i still couldn't find the answer same as the author , which part of my working goes wrong
?
