AI Thread Summary
To determine the bending moment (M) and torque (T) using Mohr's strain circle, first calculate the principal stresses from the principal strains obtained. The relationship between stress and strain can be applied using the modulus of elasticity (E) and Poisson's ratio (u). Once the principal stresses are known, use the bending stress formula and the torque formula relevant to the shaft's geometry to find M and T. Ensure to consider the shaft's diameter in your calculations. This approach will lead to the required values for the assignment.

Hi, desperately need help with this assignment question as its in for 2moro!

"At a point on the surface of a shaft with diameter of 100mm, a 45deg rosette strain gauge is positioned with the middle gauge along the axis of the shaft. The gauges measure strains of a= -0.00015, b = 0.0003, c = 0.00005. Use Mohr's strain circle to determine the value of M(bending moment) and T(torque). E = 210GPa and u = 0.29."

I've drawn a mohr's circle to find principle strains of 0.00032 and -0.00042. From this i can get the principle stresses, but I do not know what formula to use to find the bending moment and torque?

Any help would be much appreciated thankyou!

Don't double post. I answered in the Engineering section.
