Question

When a body is subjected to a direct tensile stress (σx) in one plane accompanied by a simple shear stress (τxy ), the maximum normal stress?

Answer 1

(direct tensile stress/2)

Answer 2

Answer:

(σx/2) + (1/2) × √(σx² + 4 τ²xy)

B. (σx/2) - (1/2) × √(σx² + 4 τ²xy)

C. (σx/2) + (1/2) × √(σx² - 4 τ²xy)

D. (1/2) × √(σx² + 4 τ²xy
