The general state of plane stress at a point has six independent normal
and shear stress components ( x , y , z , xy , xz , yz )
Sign convention
o Positive normal and shear stresses act in the positive co-ordinate
direction on a positive face, and in the negative co-ordinate
direction on a negative face.
o Angles are measured positive counter-clockwise.
Assuming static equilibrium and summing forces in the x' and y'
directions gives:

Given a state of plane stress, what are the maximum and minimum values
of normal stress acting at the point, and in which direction are these
stresses oriented?
Differentiate Eq. (1) for x' wrt , and set the result equal to zero and
solve:

i.e. there are two values of p , p1 and p2 which are oriented at 90o to
each other.
Substituting expressions for sin 2 p and cos 2 p into Eq. (1) for x' gives:

Given a state of stress, what is the maximum in-plane shear stress acting

The absolute maximum shear stress occurs on a plane oriented 45o (i.e.
90o on Mohrs circle) to a principal plane (here the x',z' plane).

Absolute Maximum Shear Stress (Plane
Consider an element exposed to plane stress ( x', y' plane). Define max
in the x' , int in the y' , and min ( 0) in the z' directions, respectively.

Note: The maximum in-plane shear stress in
plane max int / 2 is not
equal to the maximum shear stress in the body.
Consider the case where max and min have opposite signs ( max in the
y' directions, respectively).

These values for abs
