Principal Stresses and Principal Planes
The plane carrying the maximum normal stress is called the major principal plane 
and normal stress is called major principal stress. The plane carrying the minimum 
normal stress is known as minor principal stress.

Across maximum normal stresses acting in plane shear stresses are zero. 
Computation of Principal Stress from Principal Strain
The three stresses normal to shear principal planes are called principal stress, 
while a plane at which shear strain is zero is called principal strain.

Maximum Shear Stress
The maximum shear stress or maximum principal stress is equal of one half the 
difference between the largest and smallest principal stresses and acts on the 
plane that bisects the angle between the directions of the largest and smallest 
principal stress, i.e., the plane of the maximum shear stress is oriented 45° from 
the principal stress planes.
