A rectangular steel block is 300mm in the x direction, 200mm in the y direction and 150mm in the z direction. The block is subjected to a triaxial loading consisting of three uniformly distributed forces as follows: 250kN tension in the x direction, 320kN compression in the y direction and 180kN tension in the z direction. For steel, v=0.30 and E=200,000MPa. Determine the total strain in the x direction due to the forces applied in the three directions.

Question

A rectangular steel block is 300mm in the x direction, 200mm in the y direction and 150mm in
the z direction. The block is subjected to a triaxial loading consisting of three uniformly
distributed forces as follows: 250kN tension in the x direction, 320kN compression in the y
direction and 180kN tension in the z direction. For steel, v=0.30 and E=200,000MPa. Determine
the total strain in the x direction due to the forces applied in the three directions.
