Question:

The general from for a three-dimensional stress field is given by

Where the diagonal terms represent tensile or compressive stresses and the off-diagonal terms represent shear stresses. A stress field (in MPa) is given by

To solve for the principal stresses, it is necessary to construct the following matrix (again in MPa):

?1, ?2, and ?3, can be solved from the equation

?3, - 1?2 + 11? ? 111 = 0?

?Where
