Thus: x + y x - y = -------------- + ---------------cos2 xy sin2 (1) 2 2 x - y = ----------sin2 + xy cos2 2

note that tan2 is the negative reciprocal of tan2s , hence, twice the two angles is separated 90, or the two angles are separated by 45

(2)

the plane of zero is obtained by equating eqn. (2) to zero, which yieds 2xy tan2 = - --------x - y

the planes of maximum and minimum are obtained by differentiating eqn(1) with respect to and setting the derivative to zero, which yields: 2xy tan2 = - --------x - y two values of 2 at 180 apart (3) or two values of at 90 apart

which is the same as eqn (3).


thus at the plane of maximum and minimum , the shearing stress is zero.

similarly, the planes of maximum in-plane shearing stress The maximum and minimum are called are found by differentiating eqn(2) with respect to and principal stresses and the planes where setting the derivative to zero, which yields they act are called principal planes x - y tan2s = --------2xy two values of 2s at 180 apart (4) or two values of s at 90 apart

The principal stresses are obtained by substituting the two values of in eqn (3) to eqn (1), thus:

max = [x + y +/2 + *(x y )/2]2 + xy 2 min = [x + y ]/2 - *(x y )/2]2 + xy 2

Likewise, the maximum value of is obtained by substituting the value of s in eqn(4) to eqn(2), thus:
max = *(x y )/2]2 + xy 2 Mohr Circle derivation: If eqns. (1) and (2) are squared and added, the resulting equation is:

[ (x + y )/2]2 + 2 = [(x y )/2]2 + xy 2

which is an equation of a circle with center at (c,0) and radius R, where:


c = [x + y ]/2 and

R = *(x y )/2]2 + xy 2

Steps in drawing a more circle: 1. Plot the points (x , xy ) and (y , yx ), and connect this two points. 2. The line connecting the two points is a diameter of the mohrs circle. Compute for the location of the center of the circle, the radius of the circle, the principal stresses, the maximum in-plane shearing stress, and tan2 = 2 yx /(x y ) 3. For the purpose of determining the stresses on other planes whose normal makes an angle with respect to the x-axis, the line connecting the center of the circle to the point (x , xy ) is the x-axis, and the line connecting the point (y , yx ) is the y axis. 4. A line connecting the center of the circle to any point ( , ) in the circle represents a line normal to the plane whose stresses are ( , ). 4. For the principal stresses, max and min , the lines normal to the principal planes are already determined from tan2 = 2 yx /(x y ) . With this angle known and indicated in the mohrs circle, the value of ( , ) for any value of can now be obtained by laying out 2 with respect to the x-axis and doing some trigonometric computations.

(c) determine the maximum in plane shearing stresses and the planes on which they act. (d) determine the normal and shearing stresses on the planes which make an angle of 15 and 105 , counterclockwise, with the axis. Figure: -20mPa (a) min= -30mPa max = 70 mPa
