3D Stress – Principal Stresses The three principal stresses are obtained as the three real roots of the following equation:
3 I1 2 I 2 I 3 0 where
I1 x y z I 2 x y x z y z xy2 xz2 yz2 I 3 x y z 2 xy xz yz 2 x yz
2 y xz
2 z xy
I1, I2, and I3 are known as stress invariants as they do not change in value when the axes are rotated to new positions.

When one of the principle stresses equals zero, 3D Mohr’ circle reduces to 2D Mohr’s circle. However, In case A and B, where two principle stresses have the same sign using a 2D analysis will reach to wrong conclusion.
Figure 4.34 (p. 145) Example of biaxial stress where correct determination of max requires taking σ3 into consideration. Internally pressurized cylinder illustrates biaxial stress states where correct determination of max requires taking σ3 into . Note that (1) for an element on the inside, σ3 is negative and numerically equal to the internal fluid pressure and (2) for thinwalled cylinders σ2 σ1/2.
