Stress invariants: Invariant is a one whose value doesn t change when the frame of reference is changed. The invariants are the coefficients of σ 2, σ and the last term in the cubic equation obtained with the following relation τ ij σi = 0 σ x σ τ xy τ xz τ yx σ y σ τ yz τ zx τ zy σ z σ = 0 σ 3 (σ x + σ y + σ z )σ 2 State of Stress in Three Dimensions + σ x σ y + σ y σ z + σ z σ x τ xy 2 τ yz 2 τ zx 2 σ (σ x σ y σ z + 2τ xy τ yz τ zx σ x τ yz 2 σ y τ zx 2 σ z τ xy 2 )=0 10

Stress invariants: Invariant is a one whose value doesn t change when the frame of reference is changed. The invariants are the coefficients of σ 2, σ and the last term in the cubic equation obtained with the following relation τ ij σi = 0 σ x σ τ xy τ xz τ yx σ y σ τ yz τ zx τ zy σ z σ = 0 σ 3 (σ x + σ y + σ z )σ 2 State of Stress in Three Dimensions + σ x σ y + σ y σ z + σ z σ x τ xy 2 τ yz 2 τ zx 2 σ (σ x σ y σ z + 2τ xy τ yz τ zx σ x τ yz 2 σ y τ zx 2 σ z τ xy 2 )=0 σ 3 I 1 σ 2 + I 2 σ I 3 = 0 11

In terms of principal stresses, I 1 = σ 1 + σ 2 + σ 3 ; I 2 = σ 1 σ 2 + σ 2 σ 3 + σ 3 σ 1 and I 3 = σ 1 σ 2 σ 3 12

Problem 1: With respect to the frame of reference oxyz, the following state of stress exists. Determine the principal stresses and their associated directions. Also check on the invariences of I 1, I 2 and I 3. τ ij = 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 13

Solution: For this state, σ x τ xy τ xz τ ij = τ yx σ y τ yz = τ zx τ zy σ z 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 Calculation of invariants: I 1 = σ x + σ y + σ z = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 I 2 = σ x σ y + σ y σ z + σ z σ x τ xy 2 τ yz 2 τ zx 2 I 2 = 1 + 1 + 1 4 1 1 = 3 I 3 = (σ x σ y σ z + 2τ xy τ yz τ zx σ x τ yz 2 σ y τ zx 2 σ z τ xy 2 ) I 3 = 1 + 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 4 = 1 + 4 1 1 4 = 1 14

I 1 = 3; I 2 = 3 and I 3 = 1 Using the relation τ ij σi = 0, we will get a form σ 3 I 1 σ 2 + I 2 σ I 3 = 0 Now by substituting the I 1, I 2 and I 3 values the above equation will be modified as, σ 3 3σ 2 3σ + 1 = 0 σ 3 + 1 3 3σ σ + 1 = 0 σ + 1 3 3σ σ + 1 3σ σ + 1 = 0 σ + 1 (σ + 1) 2 6σ = 0 σ + 1 σ 2 + 1 + 2σ 6σ = 0 σ + 1 σ 2 4σ + 1 = 0 Hence one solution is σ = 1. The other two solutions are obtained from the quadratic equation, σ 2 4σ + 1 = 0 15

σ 2 4σ + 1 = 0 σ = 4 ± 42 4 1 1 = 4 ± 16 4 = 2 ± 3 2 2 σ 1 = 1, σ 2 = 2 + 3 = 3.73, σ 3 = 2 3 = 0.267 Check on the invariance: With the set of axes chosen along the principal axes, the stress matrix will have the form 1 0 0 τ ij = 0 2 + 3 0 0 0 2 3 I 1 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 3 = 3 I 2 = σ 1 σ 2 + σ 2 σ 3 + σ 3 σ 1 = 1(2 + 3) + (2 + 3) 2 3 + ( 1)(2 3) = 2 3 + 4 3 2 + 3 = 3 I 3 = σ 1 σ 2 σ 3 = ( 1)(2 + 3)(2-3) = 4 3 = 1 16

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: (i) For σ 1 = 1 τ ij σ 1 I n = 0 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 n x n y n z = 0 2 2 1 2 2 1 1 1 2 n x n y n z = 0 2n x +2n y + n z = 0 (1) 2n x +2n y + n z = 0 (2) n x +n y + 2n z = 0 (3) 17

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: together with n x 2 + n y 2 + n z 2 = 1 4 From (2) and (3 ) equations above, n z = 0 and using this in (3) we will obtain n x = n y. Now by substituting n z = 0 and n x = n y in (4), n y 2 + n y 2 = 1 n y = ± 1 2 n x = 1 2 Hence σ 1 = 1 is in the direction + 1 2, 1 2. 0 It should be noted that the plus and minus signs associated with n x, n y and n z represent the same line. 18

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: (ii) For σ 2 = 2 + 3 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 τ ij σ 2 I n = 0 2 + 3 0 0 0 2 + 3 0 0 0 2 + 3 n x n y n z = 0 1 3 2 1 2 1 3 1 1 1 1 3 ( 1 3)n x +2n y + n z = 0 (5) 2n x +( 1 n x +n y + ( 1 3)n y + n z = 0 (6) 3)n z = 0 (7) n x n y n z = 0 19

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: together with n x 2 + n y 2 + n z 2 = 1 4 Solving, we get 2n x +( 1 3)n y + n z = 0 (6) 2n x +2n y + ( 2 2 3)n z = 0 (7) 2 ( 1 3 2) n y + (1 + 2 + 2 3)n z = 0 ( 3 3) n y = (3 + 2 3) n z (3 + 2 3) n y = (3 + 3) n z n y = 1.366n z From (7), n x +1.366n z + ( 1 3)n z = 0 n x = 1.366n z 20

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: From (4), (1.366n z ) 2 + (1.366n z ) 2 + n z 2 = 1 n z = 0.4597 n x = 1.366n z = 1.366 0.4597 = 0.62795 n x = 0.62795 n y = 1.366n z = 1.366 0.4597 = 0.62795 n y = 0.62795 21

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: (iii) For σ 3 = 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 τ ij σ 3 I n = 0 2 3 0 0 0 2 3 0 0 0 2 3 n x n y n z = 0 1 + 3 2 1 2 1 + 3 1 1 1 1 + 3 ( 1 + 3)n x +2n y + n z = 0 (8) 2n x +( 1 + n x +n y + ( 1 + 3)n y + n z = 0 (9) 3)n z = 0 (10) n x n y n z = 0 22

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: together with n x 2 + n y 2 + n z 2 = 1 4 Solving, we get 2n x +( 1 + 3)n y + n z = 0 (9) 2n x +2n y + ( 2 + 2 3)n z = 0 (10) 2 ( 1 + 3 2) n y + (1 + 2 2 3)n z = 0 ( 3 + 3) n y = (3 2 3) n z (3 2 3) n y = (3 3) n z n y = 0.366n z From (10), n x 0.366n z + ( 1 + 3)n z = 0 n x = 0.366n z 23

Direction of principal axes or direction cosines: From (4), ( 0.366n z ) 2 + ( 0.366n z ) 2 + n z 2 = 1 n z = 0.888 n x = 0.366n z = 0.366 0.888 = 0.325 n x = 0.325 n y = 0.366n z = 0.366 0.888 = 0.325 n y = 0.325 24

Problem 2 The rectangular stress components of a point in three dimensional stress system are defined as σ x = 1; σ y = 2, σ z = 4, τ xy = 2, τ yz = 3 and τ zx = 1. All in units of kpa. Find principal stresses and their direction cosines. Note: Tutorial class 25

Problem 3: The rectangular stress components of a point in three dimensional stress system are defined as σ x = 20 MPa; σ y = 40 MPa, σ z = 80 Mpa, τ xy = 40 Mpa, τ yz = 60 MPa a nd τ zx = 20 MPa. Determine the principal stresses and principal planes. Find also the maximum shear stress (April/May 2011). 26

Solution: For this state, τ ij = σ x τ xy τ xz τ yx τ zx σ y τ zy τ yz σ z = 20 40 20 40 40 60 20 60 80 Calculation of invariants: I 1 = σ x + σ y + σ z = 20 40 + 80 = 60 I 2 = σ x σ y + σ y σ z + σ z σ x τ 2 xy τ 2 yz τ 2 zx I 2 = 20 40 + 40 80 + 80 20 40 2 60 2 20 2 = 8000 I 3 = (σ x σ y σ z + 2τ xy τ yz τ zx σ x τ yz 2 σ y τ zx 2 σ z τ xy 2 ) I 3 = 20 40 80 + 2 40 60 20 20 60 2 40 20 2 80 40 2 = 344000 27

σ 3 I 1 σ 2 + I 2 σ I 3 = 0 σ 3 60σ 2 8000σ + 344000 = 0 Now cos 3θ = 4 cos 3 θ 3 cos θ cos 3 θ 3 4 cos θ 1 cos 3θ = 0 (a) 4 Put σ = r cos θ + I 1 = r cos θ + 20 3 The cubic equation becomes, r cos θ + 20 3 60 r cos θ + 20 2 8000 r cos θ + 20 + 344000 = 0 r 3 cos 3 θ + 60r 2 cos 2 θ + 120r cos θ + 8000 60r 2 cos 2 θ 24000 2400r cos θ 8000r cos θ 160000 + 344000 = 0 r 3 cos 3 θ 9200r cos θ 176000 = 0 28

r 3 cos 3 θ 9200r cos θ 176000 = 0 cos 3 θ 9200 176000 cos θ r2 r 3 Hence, equations (a) and (b) are identical if 9200 r 2 = 3 4 r 2 = 12266.667 r = 110.75 176000 r 3 = 1 cos 3θ 4 cos 3θ = 4 176000 110.75 3 cos 3θ = 0.518 = 0 b 29

cos 3θ = 0.518 θ 1 = 19.6 0, θ 2 = 100.4 0, θ 3 = 139.6 0 Since θ 2 = 120 θ 1 and θ 3 = 120 + θ 1 r cos θ 1 = 110.75 cos 19.6 = 104.33 r cos θ 2 = 110.75 cos 100.4 = 19.99 r cos θ 3 = 110.75 cos 139.6 = 84.34 σ 1 = r cos θ 1 + 20 = 104.33 + 20 = 124.33 MPa σ 2 = r cos θ 2 + 20 = 19.99 + 20 = 0 MPa σ 3 = r cos θ 3 + 20 = 84.34 + 20 = 64.33 MPa Therefore principal stresses are 124.34 Mpa, 0 and -64.34 Mpa with the Principal planes with 19.6 0, 100.4 0 and 139.6 0 Maximum shear stress, τ max = σ 1 σ 3 2 = 124.33 ( 64.33) 2 = 94.33 MPa. 30

Therefore principal stresses are 124.34 Mpa, 0 and -64.34 Mpa with the Principal planes with 19.6 0, 100.4 0 and 139.6 0 Maximum shear stress, τ max = σ 1 σ 3 2 = 124.33 ( 64.33) 2 = 94.33 MPa. 31

Problem 4: With respect to the frame of reference oxyz, the following state of stress exists. Determine the principal stresses and orientation of principal planes. τ ij = 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 32

Solution: τ ij = σ x τ xy τ xz τ yx τ zx σ y τ zy τ yz σ z = 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 Calculation of invariants: I 1 = σ x + σ y + σ z = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 I 2 = σ x σ y + σ y σ z + σ z σ x τ xy 2 τ yz 2 τ zx 2 I 2 = 1 + 1 + 1 4 1 1 = 3 I 3 = (σ x σ y σ z + 2τ xy τ yz τ zx σ x τ yz 2 σ y τ zx 2 σ z τ xy 2 ) I 3 = 1 + 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 4 = 1 + 4 1 1 4 = 1 33

I 1 = 3; I 2 = 3 and I 3 = 1 Using the relation τ ij σi = 0, we will get a form σ 3 I 1 σ 2 + I 2 σ I 3 = 0 Now by substituting the I 1, I 2 and I 3 values the above equation will be modified as, σ 3 3σ 2 3σ + 1 = 0 Now cos 3θ = 4 cos 3 θ 3 cos θ Put σ = r cos θ + I 1 3 cos 3 θ 3 4 cos θ 1 cos 3θ = 0 (a) 4 = r cos θ + 1 The cubic equation becomes, r cos θ + 1 3 3 r cos θ + 1 2 3 r cos θ + 1 + 1 = 0 34

r cos θ + 1 3 3 r cos θ + 1 2 3 r cos θ + 1 + 1 = 0 r 3 cos 3 θ + 1 + 3r 2 cos 2 θ + 3r cos θ 3r 2 cos 2 θ 3 6r cos θ 3r cos θ 2 = 0 r 3 cos 3 θ 6r cos θ 4 = 0 cos 3 θ 6 r 2 cos θ 4 r 3 = 0 b Hence, equations (a) and (b) are identical if 6 r 2 = 3 4 r 2 = 8 r = 2 2 4 r 3 = 1 cos 3θ 4 35

cos 3θ = 0.707 θ 1 = 15 0, θ 2 = 105 0, θ 3 = 135 0 Since θ 2 = 120 θ 1 and θ 3 = 120 + θ 1 r cos θ 1 = 2 2 cos 15 = 2.73 r cos θ 2 = 2 2 cos 105 = 0.73 r cos θ 3 = 2 2 cos 135 = 2 σ 1 = r cos θ 1 + 1 = 2.73 + 1 = 3.73 σ 2 = r cos θ 2 + 1 = 0.73 + 1 = 0.267 σ 3 = r cos θ 3 + 1 = 84.34 + 20 = 1 Therefore principal stresses are 3.73, 0.267 and -1 with the Principal planes with 15 0, 105 0 and 135 0 Maximum shear stress, τ max = σ 1 σ 3 2 = 3.73 ( 1) 2 = 2.365 36
