associated with that element after it
has been rotated through an angle u about the z axis (Fig. 7.5b). In
Sec. 7.3, you will determine the value u
p
of u for which the stresses
s
x9
and s
y9
are, respectively, maximum and minimum; these values
of the normal stress are the principal stresses at point Q, and the
faces of the corresponding element define the principal planes of
stress at that point. You will also determine the value u
s
of the angle
of rotation for which the shearing stress is maximum, as well as the
value of that stress.
In Sec. 7.4, an alternative method for the solution of problems
involving the transformation of plane stress, based on the use of
Mohr’s circle, will be presented.
In Sec. 7.5, the three-dimensional state of stress at a given point
will be considered and a formula for the determination of the normal
stress on a plane of arbitrary orientation at that point will be devel-
oped. In Sec. 7.6, you will consider the rotations of a cubic element
about each of the principal axes of stress and note that the corre-
sponding transformations of stress can be described by three differ-
ent Mohr’s circles. You will also observe that, in the case of a state
of plane stress at a given point, the maximum value of the shearing
stress obtained earlier by considering rotations in the plane of stress
does not necessarily represent the maximum shearing stress at that
point. This will bring you to distinguish between in-plane and out-
of-plane maximum shearing stresses.
Yield criteria for ductile materials under plane stress will be
developed in Sec. 7.7. To predict whether a material will yield at
some critical point under given loading conditions, you will deter-
mine the principal stresses s
a
and s
b
at that point and check whether
s
a
, s
b
, and the yield strength s
Y
of the material satisfy some crite-
rion. Two criteria in common use are: the maximum-shearing-strength
criterion and the maximum-distortion-energy criterion. In Sec. 7.8,
fracture criteria for brittle materials under plane stress will be devel-
oped in a similar fashion; they will involve the principal stresses s
a
and s
b
at some critical point and the ultimate strength s
