Drawing Mhor's Circles: Orientation Angles on One Axes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the construction of Mohr's circles for analyzing stress at various orientation angles on the same axes. The procedure involves plotting points corresponding to normal and shear stresses, determining the center of the Mohr circle, and drawing the circle to visualize the relationship between stresses. Key steps include identifying the angles of the cutting plane and reading off the required shear and normal stresses from the circle. This method is essential for understanding the angular variation of stress in materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Mohr's Circle methodology
  • Familiarity with stress analysis concepts
  • Knowledge of shear and normal stresses
  • Basic geometry for plotting points and circles
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of Mohr's Circle equations

  • Explore the relationship between moments/products of inertia and Mohr's Circle
  • Investigate software tools for stress analysis simulations
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and students studying materials science who are involved in stress analysis and design optimization using Mohr's Circle.

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
