3.5 Let the stress tensor components at a point be given by σ σ nn<br />

ij =± o i j<br />

where σo is a positive constant. Show that this represents a uniaxial<br />

state of stress having a magnitude ±σo and acting in the direction of ni. 3.6 Show that the sum of squares of the magnitudes of the stress vectors<br />

on the coordinate planes is independent of the orientation of the<br />

coordinate axes, that is, show that the sum<br />
