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
900 MPa
1400 MPa

Principal Stress: Maximum and minimum normal stress possible for a specific point on a structural element.

Bangaram said:   7 years ago
1200+6000/2+1/2 ( (1200-600) + 4 (400) ) =1400mpa.

So it is by using formula of maximum normal stress.

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

Principal stress are maximum and minimum normal stress which may be developed on a loaded body.

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

Maximum. normal stress = T.S - S.S.
= T.S1 + T.S2 - S.S.
= 1200 + 600 - 400 .
= 1400 answer.

@Amol and @Arshad this formula is used for max. Principal stress not for max normal stress.

Avneesh said:   9 years ago
You can also use this formula,

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

@Amol is this formula applicable for finding Max. Normal stress in all types of questions?

Amol Kamale said:   1 decade ago
Yes, this formula applicable for finding Max. Normal stress in all types of questions.
