On the Definition of Planes of Maximum Shear Strain
SourceThe concept of planes of strain is contrary to accepted definitions. “Planes of maximum shear strain” are defined as planes normal to the lines of maximum shear strain. They are the same as planes of maximum shear stress. The latter designation is unambiguous, simple, and in accord with accepted definitions. It is proposed that the designation “planes of maximum shear stress” be used unless it can be shown that planes of maximum shear strain are different from the former and more important as fatigue variables.
