calculates the magnitude and direction of the maximum in-plane shear stress
Usage
tauMax(sigmaX, sigmaZ, tauXZ)
Arguments
- sigmaX
numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting in the horizontal direction
- sigmaZ
numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting in the vertical direction
- tauXZ
numeric. Magnitude of shear stress acting on the same plane as "sigmaX"
Value
A two-element list containing
"tauMax"maximum in-plane shear stress
"theta"angle of maximum in-plane shear stress (in degrees)
