In a 3-D stress problem when we draw the 1st & 2nd & 3rd mohr circle for each plane what is a case or situation in which the 3rd mohr circle is smaller than the 1st & 2nd ones?
A 3-D stress problem analysis is a method used to determine the stress state of a material or structure in three dimensions. This is important in engineering and materials science to understand how a material or structure will behave under different loads and conditions.
The 3rd Mohr Circle is used in 3-D stress problem analysis to determine the principal stresses and their orientations in a three-dimensional stress state. It is an important tool for understanding the stress distribution in a material or structure.
The 3rd Mohr Circle is constructed by plotting the normal and shear stresses on the x and y axes, and then drawing a circle with a diameter equal to the difference between the maximum and minimum normal stresses. The center of the circle represents the average normal stress, and the radius represents the maximum shear stress.
In 2-D stress problem analysis, the stress state is only analyzed in two dimensions, typically on a plane. In 3-D stress problem analysis, the stress state is analyzed in three dimensions, taking into account all three axes and any possible combinations of stresses. This allows for a more accurate understanding of the stress distribution and potential failure modes.
The 3rd Mohr Circle can be used to determine the safety factor of a material or structure by comparing the maximum shear stress with the yield strength of the material. If the maximum shear stress is lower than the yield strength, the material or structure is considered safe. If the maximum shear stress exceeds the yield strength, the safety factor is less than one, indicating potential failure.
