I1, I2, and I3 are known as stress invariants as they do not change in value when the axes are rotated to new positions.

Mohr’s Circle?
• There is no Mohr’s circle solution for problems of triaxial stress state
• Solution for maximum principal stresses and maximum shear stress is analytical
• Either closed form solution or numerical solution (or computer program) are used to solve the eigenvalue problem.
