also check for compatibility. It is easily shown that the following equations are satisfied:

In order to determine f(y) and g(x), we take into account that for x=0 => u
x
=0 due to symmetry.
Thus, we can compute f(y) directly from (7). Also we calculate g(x) by substituting to

The maximum shear stress is obtained by calculating the radius of the largest Mohrs circles formed by
the principal stresses
1
=62.3 MPa,
2
=-39.2 MPa and
3
=0. Hence the maximum shear stress is 50.75
MPa.
4. One can treat this problem as a plane stress problem. The stiffness matrix is known for the x
1
-x
2
coordinates. Also, because this is a quasi-isotropic material, [C
ij
] is the same at every 60 rotation. If
the stress and the strain are known at the x
1
-x
2
coordinate, then they are connected through [C
ij
]. The
same is true for a rotation that is a multiple of 60.
Assume a strain
11
applied on the x
1
-x
2
coordinate such that
22
= 0,
12
= 0.

If we apply the same strain at 60 in the x
