A plane-strain compression (forging) of a block is shown in the figure. The strain in the z-direction is zero. The yield strength (Sy) in uniaxial tension/compression of the material of the block is 300 MPa and it follows the Tresca (maximum shear stress) criterion. Assume that the entire block has started yielding. At a point where σx = 40 MPa (compressive) τxy = 0, the stress component σy is ________ |
| A. | 340 MPa (compressive) |
| B. | 340 MPa (tensile) |
| C. | 260 MPa (compressive) |
| D. | 260 MPa (tensile) |
| Answer» B. 340 MPa (tensile) | |
