Max.shear stress = & radic(a-b/2)^2+c^2
Where,a=tensile stress along X-direction
b=tensile stress along Y-direction
c=shear stress.

Given,a=300 mpa,
b=0 mpa.
c=200 mpa.

The answer is 250 mpa.

The general Formula of principal stress is (P1)=Px+Py/2+ √(Px-Py/2)²+q² .

Maximum shear stress i.e. Pt(max) which will be √ (Px-Py/2)²+q².

Here given, Py=0, Px=300MPa and q=200MPa. [Px=Major principal stress, Py=Minor principal stress and q=Shear stress].

so, √(Px/2)²+q²,
= √(300/2)²+200²,
= 250MPa (Ans).

Can anyone explain please?

Max. shear stress = 0.5*square root [{(300-0)/2}square + 200sqr].

Pratik said:   9 years ago
Max shear stress = (tensile stress ^2 - shear stress ^2)/2.

Thulasya naik said:   9 years ago
Max.shear stress = 0.5 * square root[300^2 + 4 * 200^2].
= 250 MPA.

Please, explain properly.

Square root [{(300 - 0)/2}square + 200sqr] = square root[150^2 + 200^2] = 250.
