Determines the principal stresses and their orientations from the stress components $$sigma_x$$, $$\sigma_y$$, $$\tau_{xy}$$.

Usage

PR_stress(sigma_x, sigma_y, tau_xy)

Arguments

sigma_x

numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting in the horizontal direction

sigma_y

numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting on plane facing in Y direction ($$\sigma_y$$).

tau_xy

numeric. Magnitude of shear stress acting on planes facing X and Y ($$\tau_{xy}$$).

Value

angle in degrees
