In a strained material one of the principal stresses is twice the other. The maximum shear stress in the same case ist max. Then, what is the value of the maximum principal stress ?

For a general two dimensional stress system, what are the coordinates of the centre of Mohr's circle?

The principal strains at a point in a body, under biaxial state of stress, are 1000 × 10^–6 and –600×10^–6. What is the maximum shear strain at that point ?

If the principal stresses and maximum shearing stresses are of equal numerical value at a point in a stressed body, the state of stress can be termed as

The state of plane stress at a point in a loaded member is given by:
