The total independent stresses at a point are _________ Correct Answer 6

At a point there are three normal stresses and six shear stresses. The three normal stresses at a point are σx, σy and σz. But out of six shearing stresses, there are only three independent shearing stresses. Therefore, the total independent stresses at a point are six stresses.
