Question

Considering the stress element for the outermost layer of the shaft (question 3) at point A (figure 3), draw the Mohr’s circle for the same. From the analysis of Mohr’s circle, find the principal stresses and the position of principal planes. Also draw the stress element for principal stresses along with its orientation in reference to the stress element found in

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Introduction

• The transformation equations for plane stress can

be represented in graphical form by a plot known

as Mohr’s Circle.

• This graphical representation is extremely useful

because it enables you to visualize the

relationships between the normal and shear

stresses acting on various inclined planes at a

point in a stressed body.

• Using Mohr’s Circle you can also calculate principal

stresses, maximum shear stresses and stresses on

inclined planes
