Case - 2 :Member subjected to normal stresses on one planes (σx or σy)

The element ABCD is subjected only normal stress in X directions. Given values for normal stresses σx in X and Y direction. Shear stress is zero.
.
Normal stress on inclined plane
We know that,

here q = 0,


Tangential stress on inclined plane
We know that,



Location of principal plane
We know that,

Here q = 0 therefore surface of element itself is principal plane and forces acting on it principal stresses.
Here, Plane AB and plane BC are principal planes and σx is principal stresses.
