Mohr's Circle. Shaft problem

[stevoxbx]

Homework Statement

Ive been told to have a Mohr's circle in a project that I'm doing
Ive never done anything to do with Mohr's Circle or stresses/strains before so I'm unsure what to do

Attached file shows FBD of shaft made from AISI A514 steel

Homework Equations

From reading up about mohr's circle I will be able to complete a diagram knowing σx, σy and τxy (i think!)

The Attempt at a Solution

I don't know how to go about getting σx, σy and τxy

Hello, thank you for reaching out about your project involving Mohr's Circle and a shaft problem. Mohr's Circle is a graphical method used to determine the state of stress at a particular point in a material. It is commonly used in engineering and mechanics to analyze stresses and strains in various structures and materials. In your case, you have been asked to use Mohr's Circle to analyze the stresses in a shaft made from AISI A514 steel.

To begin, you will need to gather the necessary information and data for your problem. This includes the applied forces, dimensions of the shaft, and material properties of the AISI A514 steel. From there, you can use equations and principles of mechanics to determine the stresses at different points along the shaft.

One important equation to know is the stress transformation equation, which relates the normal and shear stresses in different directions to the principal stresses. This equation can be used to determine the values of σx, σy, and τxy that you mentioned in your attempt at a solution. Once you have these values, you can plot them on a Mohr's Circle diagram and use it to visualize the state of stress at a particular point in the shaft.

I understand that this may be your first time working with Mohr's Circle and stresses/strains, so it is completely normal to feel unsure about what to do. I would recommend doing some additional research and reading on Mohr's Circle and stress analysis to familiarize yourself with the concepts and equations involved. Additionally, you may want to consult with your professor or a mentor for guidance and clarification on the specific problem you are working on.

I hope this helps and good luck with your project!
