Consider the standard element as follows:

On comparing with standard element:

Comment

Step 3 of 9

Plot the Mohr circle with given stresses.

Construct a circle with the two points.

Comment

Step 4 of 9

(a)
The point where the circle touches the normal stress axis are
the principle stresses.

Comment

Step 5 of 9

(b)
To find the stresses on plane AB, rotate the connecting line
by , the stresses on the new location are the normal and
shear stresses on plane AB.

Comment

Step 6 of 9

Calculation of stresses through Mohr’s circle formulas:

(a)
Calculate maximum principle stress using the following
relation:

Here, the maximum principle stress is , the normal stresses

along x and y-axis is and respectively, and shearing
stress is .
Substitute for , for , and for .

Therefore, the maximum principle stress is .

Comment

Step 7 of 9

Calculate minimum principle stress using the following

relation:

Here, the minimum principle stress is .

Substitute for , for , and for .

Therefore, the minimum principle stress is .

Comment

Step 8 of 9

(b)
Calculate the normal stress on the plane AB by using the
following relation:

Here, the angle made with major principal plane is .

Substitute for , for , for , and
for .

Therefore, normal stress on plane the AB is .

Step 9 of 9

Calculate the shear stress on the plane AB by using the

following relation:

Substitute for , for , for , and

for .

Therefore, shear stress on the plane is .
