Plane stress describes the condition in which stresses are zero along one plane. This condition typically applies to thin plates. Because the thickness direction of the material is significantly smaller compared to the other directions, negligible stress develops in this direction and is assumed to be zero (σz = σxz = σyz = 0). Thus, only the stresses in the x and y directions (σx, σy, τxy) are considered. Importance of Plane Stress An increase in the number of equations in theoretical and numer
