3. The corss section of the wall of a dam is shown in Figure. The pressure of water on face
OB is also shown. With the axes Ox and Oy, the stress at any point (x,y) are given by
(γ=specific weight of water and ρ=specific weight of dam material)
𝜌 2𝛾 𝛾 𝛾
σx=-γy, σy= − 𝑥+ − 𝜌𝑦, σz=0 and τxy= τyx= − 𝑥
𝑡𝑎𝑛𝛽 𝑡𝑎𝑛3 𝛽 𝑡𝑎𝑛2 𝛽 𝑡𝑎𝑛2 𝛽
τzx= τyz =0
Check if these stress components satisfy the differential equations of equilibrium. Also
verify if the boundary conditions are satisfied on face OB.
u= [y2i+3yzj+(4+6x2)k]10-2
Determine the principal strains at (3, 1, -2) and the direction of the minimum principal
strain.
Determine whether the above strain field is possible. If it is possible, determine the
displacement components in terms of x and y, assuming that u=v at the origin.
