    Principal Stress and Maximum Shear Stress

    I think I understand how to get τ but I'm not so sure about σx and σy The equation is σ = (M/I)×y right? Is this σx or σy? Also I'm not sure if the method I used to calculate Ixx was correct. Is it as simple as splitting it into three smaller sections because the examples we have covered in...
