STRESS Transformation Calculator (Plane Stress)    
by: Dominic J. Dal Bello

INPUT

1. Enter the original STRESSES on the element:
     
sx =    sy =    txy =  

2. Enter the counterclockwise (positive) rotation of the element:
     
       q (degrees) = ° (enter a number even if only calculating
                                                                          maximum values)

3. 

OUTPUT  

Stresses in rotated system (rotated q from original axis):

   sx' =    sy' =    tx'y' =

Note: The angles listed below correspond to vectors (rotated q from the x-axis) that are normal to the faces on which the stresses act. Angles in degrees.

Principal Stresses
  
Max. Principal Stress:  sI  at   q= °
   Min. Principal Stress:   sII =  at  qII = °

Maximum In-Plane Shear Stress
   Max. (Pos.) Shear Stress:   t =  at qs,1 = °
   Max. (Neg.) Shear Stress:      t =  at qs,2 = °

   Normal Stress on both faces:   ss=

Magnitude of Max. Out-of-Plane Shear Stress:     tmax =  
von Mises Stress:   so =
