The equation of Mohr's circle is given by (σ−4)2+τ2=9where σ is the normal stress and τ is the shear stress. The maximum shear stress is units. ,
Given: (σ−4)2+τ2=9 Centre of the circle is (4,0) and radius is 3 units. So, τmax=3 units.
σx,σyandτxy and normal and shear stresses on the x and y faces. What is the radius of Mohr's circle in terms of these stresses?
