Principal Planes and Principal Stresses:
The planes which have no shear stress are called principal planes and the normal
stresses on these planes are called principal stresses.

Principal Stress Problems
Problem-1:
The tensile stresses at a point across two mutually perpendicular planes are
120MPa and 60MPa. Determine the tangential, normal, and resultant stress on a
plane inclined at 30degree to the axis of the minor stress.
Problem-4:
The principal stresses at a point in the section of a boiler shell are 120MPa and
30MPa both tensile. Find normal, tangential and resultant stresses across a plane
inclined at 50degree to 120MPa.

Principal Stress Problems
Problem-5:
A point is subjected to a tensile stress of 250MPa in the horizontal direction and
another tensile stress of 100MPa in horizontal direction. The point is also
subjected to a simple shear stress of 25MPa, such that when it is associated with
major tensile stress, it tends to rotate the element in the clockwise direction.
What is the magnitude of the normal and shear stresses on a section at angle of
20degree with the major tensile stress.
Answer: Normal Stress – 101.48MPa.
Shear Stress – 29.06MPa
Problem-6:
A plane element in a boiler is subjected to tensile stresses of 400MPa on one
plane and 150MPa on the other at right angles to the former. Each of the above
stresses is accompanied by a shear stress of 100MPa such that when associated
with the minor tensile stress tends to rotate the element in anticlockwise
direction. Find: 1. Principal stresses and their directions.
2. Maximum shearing stresses and the directions of the plane on which they act.
Answer: Principal Stresses – 435.1MPa, Maximum Shear Stress – 160.1MPa
– 114.9MPa
Principal Planes = 19.33deg., 109.33deg., Shear Planes = 25.67deg., 115.67deg.
