Principal stresses help please?
I am looking through past paper examinations and have come a across a question:
At a certain critical point in a stressed component, calculations show that the stresses are sigma(x) = 220MPa sigma(y) = -95MPa and shear = 60MPa
Find the maximum and minimum direct stresses (principal stresses) in the component at that point?
How do i go about this problem?
Thankyou.
