Development of software to transform graphically the stress at a point inside a cube in three dimensional directions

A software has been developed specially for educational or learning purpose for mechanical, material or civil engineers. This software is about “stress and its graphical transformation” which is one of the leading important phenomena in the field of material or geotechnical engineering. The current work is based on this software which will show the stress components in graphics as well as its transformation. The software is developed by Borland C++ builder and the graphics is supported by Opengl. This software will find the maximum normal stresses (which are called principal stresses) with the direction cosines of principal planes that contain these principal stresses as well as maximum value of shear and Mohr Circle. It will also show the state of stresses while rotation is applied to the cube. Rotating the cube the user may find the state of stresses inside the cube both graphically and algebraically.
