The state of stress at a point on an element is shown in figure (a). The same state of stress is shownin another coordinate system in figure (b).

The components $$\left( {{\tau _{xx,}}{\tau _{yy,}}{\tau _{xy}}} \right)$$ are given by

A shaft with a circular cross-section is subjected to pure twisting moment. The ratio of the maximum shear stress to the largest principal stress is

A thin plate of uniform thickness is subject to pressure as shown in the figure below

Under the assumption of plane stress, which one of the following is correct?

The state of plane-stress at a point is given by $${\sigma _x}\,\, = 200$$ MPa, $${\sigma _x}\,\, = 100$$ MPa and $${\tau _{xy}} = 100$$ MPa. The maximum shear stress (in MPa) is
