*9–64. Determine the principal stress, the maximum 20 MPa

in-plane shear stress, and average normal stress. Specify the
orientation of the element in each case. 80 MPa

30 MPa

In accordance to the established sign convention, sx = 30 MPa, sy = - 20 MPa and

txy = 80 MPa. Thus,
sx + sy 30 + ( - 20)
savg = = = 5 MPa
2 2

Then, the coordinates of reference point A and the center C of the circle is

A(30, 80) C(5, 0)

Thus, the radius of circle is given by

R = CA = 2(30 - 5)2 + (80 - 0)2 = 83.815 MPa

Using these results, the circle shown in Fig. a, can be constructed.

The coordinates of points B and D represent s1 and s2 respectively. Thus

s1 = 5 + 83.815 = 88.8 MPa Ans.

s2 = 5 - 83.815 = - 78.8 MPa Ans.

Referring to the geometry of the circle, Fig. a

80
tan 2(uP)1 = = 3.20
30 - 5

uP = 36.3° (Counterclockwise) Ans.

The state of maximum in - plane shear stress is represented by the coordinate of

point E. Thus
tmax
in-plane = R = 83.8 MPa Ans.

From the geometry of the circle, Fig. a,

30 - 5
tan 2us = = 0.3125
80

us = 8.68° (Clockwise) Ans.

The state of maximum in - plane shear stress is represented by the element in Fig. c
