We were discussing the concept of stress and strain and also
we have discussed the different types of stress and
also different types of strain in
our previous posts.
Now we are going further to start our discussion to
understand the principal planes and principal stresses, in subject of strength
of material, with the help of this post.
Principal planes
A plane which is subjected with only
normal stresses i.e. tensile stresses or compressive stresses will be termed as
principal planes. Principal planes will not be subjected with shear stress i.e.
there will be zero shear stress or tangential stress.
A plane which is subjected with maximum
normal stress will be termed as major principal plane.
A plane which is subjected with minimum
normal stress will be termed as minor principal plane.
Principal stress
Normal stresses acting on a principal
plane will be termed as principal stresses.
The maximum value of normal stress
acting on principal plane will be termed as major principal stress.
The minimum value of normal stress
acting on principal plane will be termed as minor principal stress.
Do you have suggestions? Please write in comment

We will now discuss the basic concepts of thin and
thick cylinders, in the category of strength of material, in our next post.
