Drawing Mhor's Circles: Orientation Angles on One Axes

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on drawing Mohr's circles for various orientation angles on the same axes, specifically for analyzing stress at a point. It emphasizes the importance of clearly defining the problem to facilitate understanding. The procedure involves plotting points corresponding to tension and compression on a rectangular axis for shear and normal stresses, finding the center of the Mohr circle, and determining stresses at different angles. Visual aids are referenced to illustrate the steps involved in constructing the circles. The conversation highlights the utility of Mohr's circles in understanding angular variations in stress.

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 \theta1 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 \theta1 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, \theta2 , corresponding to a different angle of cutting plane on the same diagram.
The circle, of course, shows all such angles.

go well

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
