                                                           = T an
         shearing stresses is called simple shear. Take 7\ 2 = 721  d all other 7/j = 0.

         (b) Find the maximum shearing stress and the plane on which it acts.
         4.26. The stress state in which only the three normal stress components do not vanish is called
         tri-axial stress state. Take TU = a^ T 22 = a 2, T^ = a 3 with Oi>o 2>o^ and all other 7^- = 0.

         4.27. Show that the symmetry of the stress tensor is not valid if there are body moments per
         unit volume, as in the case of a polarized anisotropic dielectric solid.
         4.28. Given the following stress distribution






         find 7\ 2 so that the stress distribution is in equilibrium with zero body force and so that the
         stress vector on x± = 1 is given by t = (1 + x^i + (5 - JC 2)e 2.
         4.29. Suppose the body force vector is B = -#63, where g is a constant. Consider the following
         stress tensor






         and find an expression for Ty$ such that T satisfies the equations of equilibrium.
