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.

• The stress element can be depicted by a little square (in 2-D –


or more correctly a cube in 3-D) with the stresses acting upon
it.
Plane Stress – components and conventions

• And that’s what we mean by plane stress: the 2-D


representation of combined stresses on the four faces
of a stress element
• Two normal stress components, sx, sy
• One shear stress component txy
• Which btw, txy = tyx
Sign Convention:
SIGN CONVENTION
 Positive if counter-clock wise and usually taken from the vertical surface (x-
plane) to the intended plane
s Positive if tension or in the direction of positive axis. Negative means
compression or in the direction of negative axis.
t Positive if in the direction of positive shear (counter-clockwise) txy = tyx
Elements in plane stress, note sign conventions:
(a) three-dimensional view of an element oriented to the xyz axes,
(b) two-dimensional view of the same element, and
(c) two-dimensional view of an element oriented to the x1y1 axes - rotated by some
angle  from original

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?

• If you were to rotate that little square


stress element some angle , what would
happen?

• We have to account for:


• Magnitude
• Direction
• AND the orientation of the area upon
which the force component acts
Stress Transformation - equations
• The stress transformation is a way to describe the effect of combined loading on a
stress element at any orientation.
• From geometry and equilibrium conditions
Stress Transformation
s x +s y sx −sy sx −sy
sx = + cos(2 ) + t xy sin(2 ) t x y1 = − sin(2 ) + t xy cos(2 )

• 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

• Why this is important:


If any of the transformed stresses at angle 
exceed the material’s yield stress,
the material will fail in this direction,
even if it was loaded by lower stresses.

• Sometimes the way this works out is


failure by shear, which is not obvious.
Materials are often weaker in shear.
Principal Stresses and Maximum Shear Stress

• If material failure is what we ultimately care about, then we


really want to know what are the
• maximum and minimum normal stresses
• maximum shear stress
• orientation () at which these occur

• These are called the principal stresses (s1, s2) and


maximum shear stress (txy).

• The equations for these can be found from the stress


transformation equations by differentiation ( dds = 0 ) and
some algebraic manipulation.
s1, s2, txy, and  – equations (Formula)

Summary
• Principal stresses represent the max and min normal stresses at the point.

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

• At the orientation at which


maximum in-plane shear
stress acts, the average
normal stress acts in both
normal directions (x, y)

• The element acted upon by


the maximum in-plane shear
stress is oriented 45º from
the element acted upon by
the principal stresses
