A plate made from a certain thermoplastic polymer is subjectedto biaxial tensile loading as shown in Figure Q4 (a). A designcondition for the plate is that the maximum normal strain does notexceed 2.5% after 106 seconds of continuous loading. Calculate asuitable plate thickness to satisfy this condition. (Note:Isochronous curves for the polymer are shown in Figure Q4 (b).Assume a Poisson’s ratio of ?= 0.45)
