a) Determine principal stresses and principal planes
b) Determined the maximum shear stress.
3. A plane which is equally inclined to the three principal plane is known as octahedral
(oct) plane. Determine σoct and τoct in terms of principal stresses.
4. Show that the shear stress on any oblique plane with outward normal (𝑛)̂ having l,m,n
as direction cosines with respect to principal directions is given by
τn2=l2m2(σ1-σ2)2+m2n2(σ2-σ3)2+n2l2(σ3-σ1)2
What is the body force field that will keep the above stress field in equilibrium? (Hint:
Write down the equations of equilibrium and substitute the above to get the body
force components bz ,by and bz).
