A metal cube of initial dimension L1 254mm L2 254mm L3 25
     A metal cube of initial dimension L_1 = 25.4mm, L_2 = 25.4mm, L_3 = 25.4mm has normal stresses applied to its 3 sides:  sigma_1 = 344.7 MPa sigma_2 = -206.8 MPa  sigma_3 unknown  The steel material has sigma_Y = 413.7MPa and sigma = 827 epsilon^0.2 (MPa)  The new specimen dimensions are:  L_f3 = 21 mm (in direction of sigma_3)  L_f2 = 23mm (in direction of sigma_2)  Define the new dimension L_f1 (in direction of sigma_1) assuming plastic deformation  Define the normal stress sigma_3 assuming plastic deformation 
  
  Solution
Here the steps to be followed as -
1) We know stress = Force / Area - we can find the force on 1.
2) We know stress = Force / Area - we can find the force on 2.
Now assuming Poisson ratio = -(change in length / original length) / young\'s modulus - change in length for 1 can be found out .
Also , Youmg\'s modulus = stress / strain - Stress in 3 is obtained .
