A fabric used in air-inflated structures is subjected to a biaxial loading that results in normal stresses σ_x = 120 MPa and σ_z = 160 MPa. Knowing that the properties of the fabric can be approximated as E = 87 GPa and ν = 0.34, determine the change in length of (a) side AB, (b) side BC, (c) diagonal AC.
