A general stress state of a point in a solid consist of three normal stresses σx, σy, σz and six shearing stresses τxy, τyx, τxz, τzx, τyz, and τzy as shown in figure 1. Each of the stresses (or stress components) represents a force per unit area acting on the small cube of material.
Pls explain
Considering a cube will give us 6 stresses till where it’s easy to get. And rest counting as 3 shear stresses along each plane in each direction will give total 9 stresses.
