Principle stress are maximum or minimum normal stress which may be developed on a loaded body.

Thanks.

Simply use Mohr's circle to the equations.

Thanks for all for the explanation.

Two different stress act on a member design should be based on max principal stress so here we find max principal stress.

Use @Kamal talukdar formula. It is correct.

@All.

The Thermal stress is only induced in a material when its natural expansion or contraction is restrained by external supports or boundaries.

Since the problem specifically states the steel bar is free to expand, it will undergo thermal strain (change in length) without any internal resistance. Because there is no resistance to the deformation, the internal restoring force is zero, resulting in zero stress.

Normal stress and maximum stress difference tell me.
