Question

What is Triaxial Stress?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let us take an incremental stressed element from any member.

Mechanical Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

It shows all the stresses acting on a 3D stressed element of a member under load.

Here,

The plane perpendicular to X axis is X plane, plane perpendicular to Y axis is Y plane, plane perpendicular to Z axis is Z plane.

The normal stresses act perpendicular to a face, while the shear stresses will act parallel to a face.
