Mechanics 2 Tutorial 2: Complex stress and stress transformation

Questions:

1. Derive from first principles the three stress transformation equations.

2. Derive the transformation equations for the following three stress states, a) uniaxial stress, b)
pure shear, c) biaxial stress.

3. For each of the following stress states, determine the stress components (x1, y1 and x1y1 acting
on the element following the desired rotation (). Include sketches of the element in the original
stress state and the rotated state.
