The state of strain at the point on the leaf of the caster assembly has components of ex= – 400 x 10^-6, Ey= 860 x 10^-6, and yxy = 375 x 10^6. Use the strain transformation equations to determine the equivalent in-plane strains on an element oriented at an angle of 30 degrees counterclockwise from the original position. Sketch the deformed element due to these strains within the xy plane.
Solve Problem No. 1 using Mohr’s circle.
