SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the components of stress in a rotated axis given triaxial stresses: ax = 10 MPa, ay = 10 MPa, and az = -30 MPa. The equation used is aT = [L][a][LT], where aT represents the stress components in the rotated axis, L is the direction cosine matrix, and LT is its inverse. The challenge arises from the absence of an angle of rotation or shear stress, making it impossible to determine the direction cosines L and LT without additional information.

Given only the triaxial stresses: ax = 10 MPa (along [100]), ay = 10 MPa (along [010]), and ax = -30 MPa (along [001]), what is now the components of stresses in rotated axis?

so based on the equation

aT = [L][a][LT]

let aT the components of stress of rotated axis, L the direction cosine, LT the inverses of direction cosine and a is the component of stresses in unrotated axis.

we can determine a, but we can't determine L or LT because there's no angle of rotation given or shear stress given. since L is equal to

Lxx = (e'x)*(ex)*(cos(theta))

Lxx is the component of L along x and x', and theta is the angle between the rotated axis and unrotated axis

so now, how can i determine the stress in rotated axis?
