3D Stress – Principal Stresses
The three principal stresses are obtained as the
three real roots of the following equation:
 3  I1 2  I 2  I 3  0
where
I1   x   y   z
I 2   x y   x z   y z   xy2   xz2   yz2

I1, I2, and I3 are known as stress invariants as

they do not change in value when the axes are
rotated to new positions.

Mohr’s Circle?
• There is no Mohr’s circle solution for
problems of triaxial stress state
• Solution for maximum principal stresses
and maximum shear stress is analytical
• Either closed form solution or numerical
solution (or computer program) are used to
solve the eigenvalue problem.
Maximum Shear Stresses
Absolute max shear stress is the numerically larger of:
