Introduction
The most general state of stress at a point may be
represented by 6 components,

x , y , z

normal stresses

xy , yz , zx shearing stresses
(Note : xy = yx , yz = zy , zx = xz )
Same state of stress is represented by a different set
of components if axes are rotated.
The first part of the chapter is concerned with how
the components of stress are transformed under a
rotation of the coordinate axes. The second part of
the chapter is devoted to a similar analysis of the
transformation of the components of strain.

Plane Stress
Plane Stress - state of stress in which two faces of the
cubic element are free of stress. For the illustrated
example, the state of stress is defined by

x , y , xy and z = zx = zy = 0.

State of plane stress occurs in a thin plate subjected to


forces acting in the midplane of the plate.

State of plane stress also occurs on the free surface of a


structural element or machine component, i.e., at any
point of the surface not subjected to an external force.

rotated around a principal axis may be
represented by Mohrs circle.

The three circles represent the normal

each principal axis.

Points A, B, and C represent the principal


stresses on the principal planes (shearing
stress is zero)

Radius of the largest circle yields the

perpendicular to the plane of stress is a principal
axis (shearing stress equal zero).
If the points A and B (representing the principal
planes) are on opposite sides of the origin, then

a) the corresponding principal stresses are


the maximum and minimum normal
stresses for the element
b) the maximum shearing stress for the
element is equal to the maximum in-plane
shearing stress
c) planes of maximum shearing stress are at

Transformation of Plane Strain


Plane strain - deformations of the material take
place in parallel planes and are the same in
each of those planes.

Plane strain occurs in a plate subjected along


its edges to a uniformly distributed load and
restrained from expanding or contracting
laterally by smooth, rigid and fixed supports

components of strain :

x y xy

( z = zx = zy = 0)

Example: Consider a long bar subjected to


uniformly distributed transverse loads. State
of plane stress exists in any transverse
section not located too close to the ends of
the bar.

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain


Previously demonstrated that three principal
axes exist such that the perpendicular
element faces are free of shearing stresses.

By Hookes Law, it follows that the shearing


strains are zero as well and that the principal
planes of stress are also the principal planes
of strain.

Rotation about the principal axes may be


represented by Mohrs circles.

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Strain


For the case of plane strain where the x and y
axes are in the plane of strain,
the z axis is also a principal axis
the corresponding principal normal
strain is represented by the point Z = 0
or the origin.

If the points A and B lie on opposite sides of


the origin, the maximum shearing strain is the
maximum in-plane shearing strain, D and E.

If the points A and B lie on the same side of the


origin, the maximum shearing strain is out of the
plane of strain and is represented by the points
D and E.
