Prologue This PowerPoint will be proceeded by a derivation of important Mohr Circle equations.
Note this txy turns the element CCW, plot x below the s axis
Recall this txy turns the element CCW, plot x below the s axis
Worked Example 2
sp1 = C + R
Yellow angle has tangent 20/50, yellow angle = 21.8o
180 - 21.8o = 158.2o
An example from New Zealand In New Zealand the shear stress t sign convention is reversed from the one we are currently using. Doesn’t matter, circles are symmetrical. Notice the strong graphical use, relying on a scale (ruler) for graphing and measurements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ7UYPN1Yrg Video by Steve Tomsett at CPIT
