Solutions for the example problem from the topic of mohrs circle for the solid mechanics i course. German civil engineer otto mohr developed this method from the good ol stress transformation equations. Fold your circle directly in half and crease it well. Find an equations of the circles of radius 4 with center on the. The principal axes are clockwise to the current axes because t xy s y. Without using your calculator, determine which of the following equations describe a circle in a coordinate plane. Mohrs circle is not just for stress tensors, but it is typically taught in only that context in introductory materials mechanics c ourses. Using mohrs circle you can also calculate principal stresses, maximum shear stresses. For example, the circle shown at the right has center 3, 5 and radius 4.
Brannon mohrs circle and more circles university of utah. Locate point a, representing the stress conditions on the x face of the element by plotting its coordinates. Draw the mohrs circle, determine the principal stresses and the maximum shear stresses, and draw the corresponding stress elements. Pdfedit995 offers a wealth of additional functionality, such as. Open the circle, the crease you made is the diameter of the circle. For stress tens ors, mohrs circle can be used to visualize and to determine graphically the normal and shear stresses acting on a plane of any given orientation. The state of plane stress at a point is represented by the stress element below. The principal axes are aligned with the current axes because s x s y and t xy 0.
