6. 18 March 2016GLG310 Structural Geology Christian Otto Mohr (October 8, 1835 – October 2, 1918) was a German civil engineer. In 1882, he famously developed the graphical method for analysing stress known as Mohr's circle and used it to propose an early theory of strength based on shear stress. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Otto_Mohr

7. Faults, stress, and tractions Mohr Circle Graphical construction that lets us visualize the relationship between the principal stresses and tractions on a boundary (like a fault).  measured positive counter clockwise from  1 direction to normal of plane of interest 2  measure positive counter clockwise from  n direction on Mohr circle
