This document discusses stress transformations, which are calculations of stresses in multiple planes within rigid bodies. It provides learning objectives about calculating stresses in different planes, defines stresses within rigid bodies and stress elements. It then recalls the definition of stresses in 3D and discusses summing forces on an inclined stress element. Finally, it presents equations to calculate the transformed stresses σxx', σyy' and τxy' in a new coordinate system defined by the angle θ.
