A steel plate is in hydrostatic stress state. In order to determine the real stress state, strains that occur in case of drilling a hole (with radius 15 mm) are registered by strain gauges. Measured radial strain at a point 50 mm away from the middle of the drilled hole is εr = −20 × 10-6= −20μ, the material constants are: E = 210 GPa, ν = 0. Calculate the original stresses at this point. The strain gauge registers the strain difference between the original state (without a hole, before drilling) and the final state (with a hole). What is the expected value of the measured hoop strain if hydrostatic original stress state is assumed?

Steps
Step 1. Writing the material law give the relation between the original stresses and strains (without the hole) in hydrostatic stress state. Step 2. Give stresses and strains at a point 50mm from the middle after drilling a hole. Step 3. Express original stress from the measured strain difference. Step 4. Calculate the expected hoop strain. Step 5. Check the calculation by expressing the measured strain difference from the results.Step by step
