05-Stress Mohr 01
05-Stress Mohr 01
U.S. Customary units of stress are pounds per square inch (psi)
Substituting Eq. (3–10) into Eq. (3–8) gives expression for the non-zero
principal stresses.
Note that there is a third principal stress, equal to zero for plane stress.
Extreme-value Shear Stresses for Plane Stress
Performing similar procedure with shear stress in Eq. (3–9), the maximum
shear stresses are found to be on surfaces that are ±45º from the principal
directions.
Eq. (3–14) will not give the maximum shear stress in cases where there are
two non-zero principal stresses that are both positive or both negative.
If principal stresses are ordered so that 𝜎𝜎1 > 𝜎𝜎2 > 𝜎𝜎3 ,
then 𝜏𝜏𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 = 𝜏𝜏1/3
