Transformation of Stress The state of plane stress at a point p is shown on the element in the figure on the right. Determine the principal stresses and the maximum in-plane shear stress and show them acting on properly oriented elements. Also determine the absolute maximum shear stress.  x= 22MPa normal stress acting on the x face  y=10MPa normal stress acting on the y face  xy=6 MPa shear stress MPa Stress p = p
