Mohr’s Circle (for a body subjected to direct stresses in two mutually perpendicular faces)

Image
  Mohr’s circle for stress on an oblique section of a body subjected to direct stresses in two mutually perpendicular faces. Detailed step by step procedure to draw the mohr's circle for a body subjected to direct stresses in two mutually perpendicular faces (When both stresses are of tensile nature) Things to remember before drawing mohr's circle  👉tensile stress is taken as positive and compressive stress is taken as negative. 👉 you can use appropriate scale  Step 1. Draw a straight line OB length equals to σx Step 2. Mark a point A on line OB and Length of OA is equal to σy . Step 3. Mark Mid point C of line joining A and B Step 4. Draw a circle With mid point C and passing through points A and B Step 5. Locate an inclined plane in this circle by marking a radial line CD at double the angle 2θ at which the required plane is inclined with a given plane. Step 6. Draw DE  perpendicular from D to x-axis. Now the mohr's circle is completed  Now we have to find the result va
