Principle Stresses Calc.

The document discusses triaxial stress states where stresses are applied along three axes of an element with no shear stresses. It provides equations for determining the principal stresses and maximum shear stresses for a general triaxial stress state. An example is worked out where the principal stresses, maximum shear stress, and Mohr's circle are determined for a given triaxial stress state to see if it will yield based on the von Mises yield criterion.

3-7 General Three Dimensional Stress ( Triaxial Stresses)

Triaxial Stress
( no shear stress)
stress states:
 Biaxial stresses are stresses  applied along two axes of the
element and  = 0.

 Triaxial stresses are stresses  applied


along three axes of the element and  = 0.
3D Stress – Principal Stresses

The three principal stresses are obtained as the three real roots of the
following equation:

 3  I1 2  I 2  I 3  0
where

I1   x   y   z
I 2   x y   x z   y z   xy2   xz2   yz2
I 3   x y z  2 xy xz yz         

I1, I2, and I3 are known as stress invariants as they do not change in
value when the axes are rotated to new positions.
Maximum Shear Stresses
Absolute max shear stress is the numerically larger of:
