Principal stresses are introduced as eigenvalues of the stress matrix and principal directions as the eigenvectors. The relation between maximum shear stress and the principal stresses is given. The dimensionality reduction obtained through the principal stress concept and the maximum shear stress concept for failure analysis of aircraft structures is explained. #aerospaceengineering #structuralmechanics #solidmechanics
