Welcome to the PF.

Your question (if you have one?) is not very clear. Could you please elaborate?

Berkeman is right you haven't given us much to go on

Mohr circles can be used for the angular variation of

Moments/Products of Inertia
Strain at a point
Stress at a point

I am guessing that you are studying the last one so here is the procedure in the attached sketches.

Fig 1
Shows a small square under X axis tension (reckoned +ve) and Y axis compression (reckoned negative).

I have shown in red a plane cutting the square. The normal to this plane makes an angle [tex]\theta[/tex]1 with the X axis.
The stresses on this plane are required.

Fig 2

Draw rectangular axes for shear (Ss) and normal (Sn ) stresses.
Plot the point A (Sx , 0) corresponding to the X axis tension with zero shear.
Plot the point B (-Sy , 0) corresponding to the Y axis compression with zero shear. Note that this is negative.

Fig 3

Find the centre, C of the Mohr circle halfway between A and B.
Note this will rarely be the origin.

Fig 4

Draw the Mohr circle with centre C and radius CA or CB.

Fig 5

Draw the diameter through C at angle twice [tex]\theta[/tex]1 to the Sn axis, meetiong the circle at D and E.
Read off the shear and normal stresses for D. These are the required values.

Fig 6

As you requested I have plotted a different angle, [tex]\theta[/tex]2 , corresponding to a different angle of cutting plane on the same diagram.
The circle, of course, shows all such angles.

go well

Related to Drawing Mhor's Circles: Orientation Angles on One Axes

1. What is the purpose of drawing Mhor's circles?

The purpose of drawing Mhor's circles is to determine the orientation angles of a geometric object on one axis, which can then be used to calculate the object's orientation in three-dimensional space.

2. How do you draw Mhor's circles?

Mhor's circles are drawn by first constructing a coordinate system with the object's axis of rotation as the z-axis. Then, using the known orientation angles, the circles are drawn on the x-y plane by plotting points at specific angles and connecting them to form a circle.

3. What information can be obtained from Mhor's circles?

Mhor's circles provide information about the orientation angles of a geometric object on one axis, which can then be used to determine its orientation in three-dimensional space. This information is useful in fields such as engineering, robotics, and computer graphics.

4. Are there any limitations to using Mhor's circles?

Yes, Mhor's circles can only be used to determine the orientation angles of an object on one axis. They do not provide information about the object's position or orientation on other axes.

5. Are there any alternative methods to determine orientation angles?

Yes, there are alternative methods such as using Euler angles or rotation matrices. However, Mhor's circles are a simple and efficient method for determining orientation angles on one axis and are often used in engineering and computer graphics applications.
