A body is subjected to a tensile stress of 1200 MPa on one plane and another tensile stress of 600 MPa on a plane at right angles to the former. It is also subjected to a shear stress of 400 MPa on the same planes. The maximum normal stress will be
400 MPa
500 MPa

Thanks for all the above answers.

Thank you all for the explanation.

The maximum and minimum normal stresses (σ1 and σ2) are known as the principal stresses.

Solution is very simple. Ans is 1400.

Explanation:

Normal stress =((x+y)÷2) + √ ((x - y)÷2) + (shear stress)^2 where x = 1200 & y= 600.

If shear stress is applied, maximum normal stress will always be greater than applied maximum stress(1200). So the answer is 1400. No calculation only observation.

Normal stress = (sum of stress/2) = 900 answer.

Seenu said:   9 years ago
Thanks for all your explanation.

You can also use this formula,

Stress = [(x + y)/2] + 0.5 * (x - y)^2 + 4(shear stress)^2.

Simply use Mohr's circle to the equations.

The resultant tensile stress is (1200+600)/2 =900 MPA shear stress =400 Mpa using maximum normal stress theory 1/2(900+ 900^2+4 * 400^2)= 1400Mpa.
