 Introduction to stress elements
 Stress elements are a useful way to represent stresses
acting at some point on a body. Isolate a small element and
show stresses acting on all faces. Dimensions are
infinitesimal”, but are drawn to a large scale.
Stress Elements and Plane Stress – 3D
 Plane stress element in 2D

 When an element is in plane stress in the xy plane, only the

x and y faces are subjected to stresses:
 (σz = 0 and zx = xz = ZY = YZ = 0).

 Such an element could be located on the free surface of a

body (no stresses acting on the free surface).

 Stress Elements and Plane Stress

 When working with stress elements, keep in mind that only

one basic state of stress exists at a point in a stressed body,
regardless of the orientation of the element used to portray
the state of stress.
 We are really just rotating axes to represent stresses in a
new coordinate system.
 Normal and Shear stresses on inclined sections
 To obtain a complete picture of the stresses in a bar, we must consider
the stresses acting on an “inclined (as opposed to a “normal”) section
through the bar.

 Because the stresses are the same throughout the entire bar, the
stresses on the sections are uniformly distributed.
 Normal and Shear stresses on inclined sections
 The force P can be resolved into components:
 Normal force ,N, perpendicular to the inclined plane, N = P cos θ
 Shear force ,V, tangential to the inclined plane, V = P sin θ

 If we know the areas on which the forces act, we can

calculate the associated stresses.
Normal and Shear stresses on inclined sections
 Stresses on Inclined Sections
 The stress system is known in terms of coordinate system xy. We want
to find the stresses in terms of the rotated coordinate system x1y1.
 Why?
 A material may yield or fail at the maximum value of σ or . This value
may occur at some angle other than θ = 0. (Remember that for
uniaxial tension the maximum shear stress occurred when θ = 45
degrees. )

• Positive normal stresses, x and y, acts outward

(tension) from all faces and vice versa; +σy
• Positive shear stress xy acts +τxy

in clockwise rotation +σx +σx

and vice versa.
+τxy
+σy
• The orientation of the inclined plane is determined
using the angle .
• Angle  is positive if it moves clockwise from the +x
axis to the +x1 axis.
EXAMPLE 1:

 The state of plane stress at a point is represented by the

stress element below. Determine the stresses acting on an
element oriented 30° clockwise with respect to the original
element.
 SOLUTION 1:

 Define the stresses in terms of the established sign

convention:
σx = -80 MPa
σy = 50 MPa
xy = 25 MPa
 We need to find σx1, σy1, and x1y1 when θ = 30°.
 Substitute numerical values into the transformation
equations:
σx1 = σx+ σy + σx- σy cos 2θ + τxy sin 2θ
2 2

σx1 = -80+50 + -80-50 cos 2(30) + 25sin 2(30) = -25.85 MPa

2 2
 SOLUTION 1:
σy1 = (σx+ σy) - (σx- σy) cos 2θ - τxy sin 2θ
2 2

σy1 = (-80+50) – (-80-50) cos 2(30) - 25sin 2(30) = - 4.15 MPa

2 2

τx1y1 = - (σx- σy) sin 2θ + τxy cos 2θ

2
τx1y1 = - (-80- 50) sin 60 + 25 cos 60 = 68.79 MPa

 Principal Stresses

 The maximum and minimum normal stresses (σ1 and σ2)

are known as the principal stresses. To find the principal
stresses, we must differentiate the transformation equations.

 There are two values of 2θp in the range 0-360°, with values differing by 180°.
 There are two values of θp in the range 0-180°, with values differing by 90°.
 So, the planes on which the principal stresses act are mutually perpendicular
 Principal Stresses

 We can now solve for the principal stresses by substituting

for θp in the stress transformation equation for σx1. This tells
us which principal stress is associated with which principal
angle.

 The state of plane stress at a point is represented by the

stress element below. Determine the principal stresses and
draw the corresponding stress element.
 SOLUTION 2:
 Define the stresses in terms of the established sign convention:
σx = -80 MPa
σy = 50 MPa
xy = 25 MPa

σ1,2 = (σx+ σy) ± σx- σy 2 + τxy2

2 2

σ1,2 = (-80+ 50) ± (-80- 50) 2 + 252 = 54.6MPa and -84.6MPa

So, σ1 = 54.6 Mpa (Maximum) and

2 2

σy1 = (15+30) – (15-30) cos 2(-30) – (-25sin) 2(-30) = 4.6MPa

 MOHR`S CIRCLE FOR PLANE STRESS
•Introduced by Otto Mohr in 1882
•Mohr's Circle illustrates principal stresses and stress
transformations via a graphical format, that is easy to remember
and use. τ

σ2 C σ1 σ

. Mohr's Circle was the leading tool used to visualize relationships

between normal and shear stresses, and to estimate the maximum
stresses, before hand-held calculators became popular. Even today,
Mohr's Circle is still widely used by engineers all over the world.
 Derivation of Mohr's Circle
 To establish Mohr's Circle, we first recall the stress transformation
formulas for plane stress at a given location:

σx1 = σx + σy + σx – σy cos2θ + xy sin2θ,

2 2
σx1 - σx + σy = σx – σy cos2θ + xy sin2θ, and
2 2
x1y1 = - (σx – σy ) sin2θ + xy cos2θ
2
• Using a basic trigonometric relation (cos22θ + sin22θ = 1) to
combine the two above equations we have:

[σx1 - σx + σy]2 + x1y12 = [σx – σy]2 + xy2

2 2
• This is the equation of a circle, plotted on a graph where the
abscissa is the normal stress and the ordinate is the shear stress.
 Derivation of Mohr's Circle
 This is easier to see if we interpret σx and σy as being the two
principal stresses, and xy as being the maximum shear stress.
 Then we can define the average stress, σavg, and a "radius" R
(which is just equal to the maximum shear stress),

[σx1 - σavg]2 + x1y12 = R2

 Derivation of Mohr's Circle
 The circle is centered at the average stress value, and has a radius
R equal to the maximum shear stress (τmax), as shown in the figure
below:

 A benefit of Mohr's circle is that the principal stresses σ1 and σ2

and the maximum shear stress max are obtained immediately
after drawing the circle.
 PROCEDURES TO CONSTRUCT MOHR’S CIRCLE

• To get normal and shear stress values at any plane θ, take angle 2θ in Mohr
circle starting from diagonal of the circle and locate a peripheral point as shown.
