An element in plane stress from the fuselage of an airplane is subjected to compressive stresses of magnitude 27 MPa in the horizontal direction and tensile stresses of magnitude 5.5 MPa in the vertical direction (see figure). Also, shear stresses of magnitude 10.5 MPa act in the directions shown.
Determine the stresses acting on an element oriented at a clockwise angle of 35° from the horizontal. Show these stresses on a sketch of an element oriented at this angle.
