(1) The direct stress is maximum when Q is at M and at this point obviously the
sheer stress is zero,
• Hence by definition OM is the length representing the maximum principal
stresses σ1 and 2ϴ1 gives the angle of the plane 1 from BC.
• Similar OL is the other principal stress and is represented by σ2
(2) The maximum shear stress is given by the highest point on the circle and is
represented by the radius of the circle.
This follows that since shear stresses and complimentary sheer stresses have the
same value; therefore the center of the circle will always lie on the X axis midway
between x and y .
[ since +τxy & - τxy are shear stress & complimentary shear stress so they are same
in magnitude but different in sign. ]
Further points to be noted are :
(5) Since the resultant of two stress at 900 can be found from the parallogram of
vectors as shown in the diagram. Thus, the resultant stress on the plane at q to BC
is given by OQ on Mohr's Circle
Further points to be noted are :
(6) The graphical method of solution for a complex stress problems using Mohr's
circle is a very powerful technique, since all the information relating to any plane
within the stressed element is contained in the single construction. It thus,
provides a convenient and rapid means of solution. Which is less prone to
arithmetical errors and is highly recommended.

Q 1:
A circular bar 40 mm diameter carries an axial tensile load of 105 kN. What is the
Value of shear stress on the planes on which the normal stress has a value of 50
MN/m2 tensile.
Assignment (Cont…)
Q2:
For a given loading conditions the state of stress in the wall of a cylinder is expressed as
follows:
(a) 85 MN/m2 tensile
(b) 25 MN/m2 tensile at right angles to (a)
(c) Shear stresses of 60 MN/m2 on the planes on which the stresses (a) and
(b) act; the sheer couple acting on planes carrying the 25 MN/m2 stress is clockwise in effect.
• Calculate the principal stresses and the planes on which they act.
• What would be the effect on these results if owing to a change of loading (a) becomes
compressive while stresses (b) and (c) remain unchanged
Obtain answer using equations and graphical method ( Mohr’s circle method)
