e) both b) and c) are correct observations
f) both b) and d) are correct observations
g) both c) and d) are correct observations
h) the set b), c), and d) are correct observations.

12. Assuming the numeric values are correct, does the sketch from the principal plane
orientation to the maximum shear orientation look correct?
a) Yes.
b) No, the shear stress component on the y''-face should be counter-clockwise
c) No, 4MPa out of the page should be 1.4MPa into the page.

b) False

15. Cauchy's formula and Mohr's circle can be used to obtain the octahedral stresses.

c) False, Mohr's circle can be used, but Cauchy's formula can not
d) False, only the eigenvalue problem can be used.

16. The constitutive relations relate stress to strain. Therefore, for two materials, one which
is linear elastic and one which is non-linear elastic, the strain-displacement relations
change.
a) True
b) False

Comment [ GDS22] : partial credit if you did not
fix the circle labels
Comment [ GDS24] : partial credit; they have to
know that y'' is x'' but the question then holds
Comment [ GDS30] : full credit
Comment [ GDS33] : correct answer since i did
not say using graphically on the circle, so you can
get the principal stresses then use the formula.
Comment [ GDS34] : partial credit; as we can get
the principal stresses from mohr circle then get
octahedrals.
