If Two of the 3 principal stresses are zero, the state of stress is known as __________

If Two of the 3 principal stresses are zero, the state of stress is known as __________ Correct Answer uniaxial

If 2 of the principal stresses are zero that means only in a single direction stress is acting. This is a typical case of tensile testing also known as uniaxial loading.
