In using the stress transformation equations to compute the state of stress on a specified plane, most errors generally fall into one of three categories:
- incorrect sign conventions
- an error is in determining the proper value for the angle θ
- a simple calculation mistake
In this game, you can test your understanding of sign conventions and the angle θ used in the stress transformation equations.
To proceed to the next level, you must correctly determine the stress signs and the angle θ for four configurations.
