Normal and Shear Stress on Plane ABC

(a) Magnitudes
The normal and shear force (stress) components u and r respectively act upon plane ABC.
Their resultant is S, with the co-ordinate components S, S,. and S,, as shown in Fig. 1.3a.
Now S is also the equilibrant of the forces produced by the stress components acting on
the back faces. Hence the following three equilibrium equations apply to its components:
