4 principal stresses
TRANSCRIPT
Learning ObjectivesDescribe what principal stresses
and maximum shear stress are and why they are important
Calculate principal stresses and maximum shear stress, and the angles at which they occur
Visualize principal stresses and maximum shear stress on a stress element
BIOE 3200 - Fall 2015
Principal Stresses: Minimum and maximum normal stressesFind by setting derivative of stress
transformation equation to zeroAlso know that shear stress = 0 on principal
plane◦ Use shear stress transformation equation to
develop equations for principal stresses
BIOE 3200 - Fall 2015
Maximum Shear StressEven if max normal stress is within
limits of material strength, failure can occur in shear
Find direction of max shear stress plane by setting derivative of shear stress transformation equation to zero
BIOE 3200 - Fall 2015
Maximum Shear StressOccurs on plane at which normal
stresses are equal◦ Can also solve by setting normal stress
transformation equations equal to each other and solving for angle of max shear stress plane
◦ Plug angle into shear stress equation to determine equation for max shear stress
