Principal Stress and maximum shear stress:-  

  • It is the maximum or minimum normal stress which may be developed on a loaded body. The plane of principal stress does not carry any shear stress.
  • Mohr’s Circle for plane stress o It is the locus of points representing the magnitude of normal and shear stress at various plane in a given stress element.
