How to Calculate and Solve for Shear Stress In Slip Direction | Deformation

Last Updated on December 16, 2022

The image of shear stress in slip direction is represented below.

To compute for shear stress in slip direction, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Stress (σ), φ and λ.

The formula for calculating shear stress in slip direction:

τR = σcosφcosλ

Where:

τR = Shear Stress in Slip Direction
σ = Stress
φ, λ = Stress Axis Orientation

Let’s solve an example;
Find the shear stress in slip direction when the stress is 4, the stress axis orientation is 2 and the stress axis orientation is 6.

This implies that;

σ = Stress = 4
φ = Stress Axis Orientation = 2
λ = Stress Axis Orientation = 6

τR = σcosφcosλ
τR = 4(cos2°)(cos6°)
τR = 4(0.999)(0.99)
τR = 4(0.99)
τR = 3.97

Therefore, the shear stress in slip direction is 3.97 Pa.

Calculating the Stress when the Shear Stress in Slip Direction and the Stress Axis Orientation is Given.

σ = τR / cosφcosλ

Where:

σ = Stress
τR = Shear Stress in Slip Direction
φ, λ = Stress Axis Orientation

Let’s solve an example;
Find the stress when the shear stress in slip direction is 12, the stress axis orientation is 4 and the stress axis orientation is 2.

This implies that;

σ = Stress = 12
φ = Stress Axis Orientation = 4
λ = Stress Axis Orientation = 2

σ = τR / cosφcosλ
σ = 12 / cos4cos2
σ = 12 / (-0.65)(-0.416)
σ = 12 / 0.2704
σ = 44.37

Therefore, the stress is 44.37.
