Principal Stresses Experiment
Virtual Procedure
- Adjust the values of the applied stress components using the corresponding sliders.
- Change the orientation angle (θ) of the stress element using the angle slider.
- Observe the calculated principal stresses (σ1 and σ2) displayed in the results table.
- Compare the principal stresses for different combinations of applied stresses and orientations.
- Repeat the procedure with different input values to study the effect of stress transformation.
