Determine a) the principal planes and the principal stresses and b) the maximum shearing stresses,
and c) draw the Mohr’s circle for the state of plane stress resulting from the superposition of the two
states of plane stress shown.
Solution :
The Case I can be transformed to the stress state in the coordinate axes of the Case II for θ = 30◦
as follows:
0 0 0 0
σ xx + σ yy σ xx − σ yy 0
σ xx = + cos 2θ + σ xy sin 2θ
2 2
σ xx = 0 + 0 + 50 × sin 60
σ xx = 43.3 MPa
0 0 0 0
σ xx + σyy σxx − σ yy 0
σyy = − cos 2θ − σxy sin 2θ
2 2
σyy = 0 − 0 − 50 × sin 60
σyy = −43.3 MPa
0 0
σ yy − σ xx 0
σxy = sin 2θ + σ xy cos 2θ
2
σxy = 0 + 50 × cos 60
σxy = 25 MPa
The superposition of the transformed Case - I and Case - II yields
