Compound Stress - Problem
1 = + 453.11 MPa
2 = 353.11 MPa
tan 2p = 2txy/x y
tan 2p = 2 200 / 400 + 300 = 0.5714
p = 14o52, 104o52
(ii) Maximum shear stress
tmax = 403.11 MPa
s = p + 45o
s = (14o52 + 45), (104o52 + 45)
s = 59o52, 149o52
Example.:The principal stresses at a point in a body are 30 and 50 MN/m2, both tensile.
Determine by calculations or by Mohrs circle the following on a plane inclines at 40 o to the
plane on which the major principal stress acts:
(i) Normal and tangential components of stress
(ii) Angle of obliquity
Solution: Given x = 30 MN/m2, y = 50 MN/m2
Normal stress on the plane, n = x + y/2 + x y/2 cos 2
= 30 + 50/2 + 30 50/2 cos 80o
= 40 1 MN/m2
Shearing stress, t = x y/2 sin 2
= 30 50 / 2 sin 80o
= 9.85 MN/m2
= 14.43o
