Answer:
19.5324 MPa
Explanation:
Information provided
Angle between the normal to the slip plane with tensile axis, [tex]\alpha=60^{o} [/tex]
Angle by slip direction with tensile axis, [tex]\beta=35^{o}[/tex]
Critical resolved shear stress, [tex]\tau_{c}=8 MPa[/tex]
Applied stress [tex]\sigma=12 MPa[/tex]
Shear stress at slip plane
[tex]\tau=\sigma cos\alpha cos\beta[/tex]
[tex]\tau=12cos60^{o}cos35^{o}=4.915 MPa[/tex]
[tex]\tau <\tau_{c}[/tex] hence crystal won’t yield
Applied stress, [tex]\sigma[/tex] for crystal to yield is given by
[tex]\sigma=\frac {\tau_{c}}{cos\alpha cos\beta}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma=\frac {8}{cos60cos35}=19.53239342 MPa[/tex]
[tex]\sigma=19.5324 MPa [/tex]
