1. a) Derive differential equation of equilibrium for two dimensional problem
b) Derive expressions for compatibility for a two dimensional problem

2. The stresses in a rotating disk (of unit thickness) can be regarded as due to centrifugal

potential v = -1/2 p 2(x2 + y2), where is the density and the angular velocity of
rotation (about the origin).

included in y = ± c, x = 0, on the side x positive.

5. Derive general equations in polar coordinates.

6. a) Making use of equilibrium equations, stress-strain relation in three dimensions, show

that the volume expansion ‘e’ satisfies the following differential equation.
