STRESS TRANSFORMATION
Introduction – stresses at a point
• When a body is loaded by normal and shear stresses, we can
consider any point in that body as a stress element.
For now we’ll deal with plane stress, the 2-D biaxial stress projection of the 3-D
cube
Plane Stress – How do we look at stresses in
rotation?
• Given stresses at one angle we can calculate stresses at any arbitrary angle
• Even a uniaxial loading (sx) will create both perpendicular (sy) and shear (txy)
loadings upon rotation

tan(2 s ) = − s = planes of max shear stress

• At the orientation at which principal stresses act, there is no acting shear stress.
