Combined stresses, Mohr’s Circle

Diagram and Principal stresses.
 Example
Ex. If minimum principal stress is -7MN/m^2, find out maximum
principal stress and the angle which the principal stress axes make
with the xy axes.
 Example
Ex. For the state of stress given in prob. (1), find the stress
components on an element inclined at 30 degrees to the xy axes.
 Example
Ex. An element in biaxial stress is subjected to stresses σxx =-60
MPa and σyy=20 MPa. Using Mohr’s circle, determine (a) the
stresses acting on an element oriented at a counterclockwise angle
θ = 22.5° from the x axis and (b) the maximum shear stresses and
associated normal stresses. Show all results on sketches of properly
oriented elements.
 Example
Ex. The Mohr's circle of plane stress for a point in a body is shown.
The design is to be done on the basis of the maximum shear stress
theory for yielding. Then, yielding will just begin if the designer
chooses a ductile material whose yield strength is:
 Example
The figure shows the state of stress at a certain point in a stressed
body. The magnitudes of normal stresses in the x and y direction
are 100MPa and 20 MPa respectively. The radius of Mohr's stress
circle representing this state of stress is:
 Example
The state of stress at a point in a two dimensional loading is such
that the Mohr's circle is a point located at 175 MPa on the
positive normal stress axis. Determine the maximum and
minimum principal stresses respectively from the Mohr's circle.
Determine the directions of maximum and minimum principal
stresses at the point “P” from the Mohr's circle
Example
 Example
The nose wheel of the plane is subjected to a design load of 12 kN. Determine the
principal stresses acting on the aluminum wheel support at point A .
 Example
The wood beam is subjected to a load of 12 kN. If a grain of wood in the beam at point A
makes an angle of 25° with the horizontal as shown, determine the normal and shear
stress that act perpendicular and parallel to the grain due to the loading.
