Consider a unidirectional composite lamina where the fibers are aligned at 60° from the x-axis as shown in the figure. If the thickness of the composite lamina is small compared to the in- plane dimensions, it is appropriate to assume that a state of plane stress exists in the lamina. The stress components at point a in the x-y coordinate system are shown in the figure. Determine the principal stresses and principal planes at point a, and indicate on a sketch the orientation of the principal planes which respect to the principal material directions. 20 MPa YA 10 MPa 50 MPa
