Module 24 Learning Outcome
For a given set of plane stress conditions
at a point, determine the Principal
Stresses, Principle Planes, and Maximum
Shear Stress using Mohrs Circle

Example
The stress block shown represents the stresses
on two orthogonal planes through a point in a
structural member. Using Mohrs circle, find:
a) The principal stresses and the maximum
shear stress at that point, and show the
planes on which they act on a properly
oriented stress block


b) The normal and shear stresses on plane AA
through the point on a properly oriented -50MPa
stress block
