INTRODUCTION

1. 1 INTRODUCTION The state of stress on any plane in a strained body is said to be ‘Compound Stress’, if, both Normal and Shear stresses are acting on that plane. For, example, the state of stress on any vertical plane of a beam subjected to transverse loads will, in general, be a Compound Stress. In actual practice the state of Compound Stress is of more common occurrence than Simple state of stress. In a compound state of stress, the normal and shear stress may have a greater magnitude on some planes which are inclined (or, Oblique) to the given stress plane. Hence it is necessary, in a compound state of stresses, to find (i) The normal and shear stress on a plane which is inclined (or, Oblique) to the given stress plane; (ii) The inclination of max. and min. normal stress planes and the values of the normal stress (max. / min.) on them; (iii) The inclination of max. shear stress planes and the values of the shear stress (max.) on them.

2. 2 Consider an element ABCD subjected to a state of compound stress as shown in the Fig. Let: σy σx Normal Stress in x- direction σy Normal Stress in y- direction τShear Stresses in x & y – directions θ  Angle made by inclined plane AE wrt vertical σnNormal Stress on inclined plane τnShear Stress on inclined plane τ E B C σx σx θ D A τ σy (i) Normal & Shear stress on plane inclined (Oblique) to given stress plane: Normal Stress, σθ, and Shear stress, τθ, on inclined plane are given by:

3. 2 (ii) The inclination of max. and min. normal stress planes and the values of the normal stress (max. / min.) on them Let, θP be the inclination of the plane of max. or min. normal stress and σP be the value of the max. or min. normal stress on that plane, then, from Eqn. (1): Thus, the condition for max. or min. normal stress to occur on a plane is, shear stress on that plane should be zero. These planes on which shear stress is zero and the normal stress on them being either the max. or the min. are called ‘PRINCIPAL PLANES’.

4. 2 • The above Eqn. (3), gives two values for θP, which differ by 900. Thus, there are two mutually perpendicular Principal planes, on which there are only normal stresses, shear stress being zero on them. • On one of them, the value of the normal stress is the max.; it is called the ‘Major Principal plane’, the max. normal stress on it is called the ‘Major Principal Stress’. • On the other principal plane, the value of the normal stress is the min.; it is called the ‘Minor Principal plane’, the min. normal stress on it is called the ‘Minor Principal Stress’.

5. ±√[(σx - σy/2]2 + τ2 2P (σx-σy)/ 2 τ Substituting for sin 2θP and cos 2θP in Eqn. (1), we get the equation for principal stresses as: The above equation (4) gives two values for principal stresses. The numerically max. of the two values (+ ve or − ve) is the Major Principal Stress, (σMajor or σMax) and the numerically min. (+ ve or − ve) is the Minor Principal Stress (σMinor or σMin) .

6. (iii) Inclination of max. shear stress planes, Max. shear stress Equation. Let, θS be the inclination of the plane of max. or min. shear stress and τS be the value of the max. or min. shear stress on that plane, then, from Eqn. (2): Eqn. (5) gives two values for θS, which differ by 900. Thus, there are two mutually perpendicular planes, on which shear stress are max.; numerically equal but opposite in sense. The planes of Max. Shear stresses are inclined at 450 to the Principal planes.

7. ±√[(σx − σy)/2]2 + τ2 (σx-σy)/ 2 2S τ Substituting for sin 2θS and cos 2θS in Eqn. (2), we get the equation for Max. shear stresses as: The above equation (6) gives two values for Max. shear stresses, which are numerically equal but opposite in sense.

8. EQUATINS, NOTATIONS & SIGN CONVENTIONS: 2 Normal Stress, σθ, and Shear stress, τθ, on inclined plane are given by: Inclination of Principal planes θP . There are two mutually perpendicular Principal planes The equation for Principal stresses are: Inclination of Max. shear stress planes θS = θP + 450. Also, given by Eqn (5). The two mutually perpendicular Max. shear stress planes have equal & opposite shear stresses.
