A state of stress that occurs at a point on the free surface of the of a solid body is = 50 MPa σ x , =10 MPa σ y , and = −15 MPa xy τ .
a. Evaluate the two principal normal stresses and the one principal shear stress that can be found by coordinate system rotations in the x-y plane and give the coordinate system rotations.
b. Determine the maximum normal stress and the maximum shear stress at this point.
c. Sketch the rotations and stress magnitudes
