When is it appropriate to use Mohr’s Circle? When is it not applicable
1. Mohr's circle is often used in calculations relating to
mechanical engineering for materials' strength, geotechnical
engineering for strength of soils, and structural engineering for
strength of built structures.
2. It is also used for calculating stresses in many planes by
reducing them to vertical and horizontal components.
3. Mohr's circle can also be used to find the principal planes and
the principal stresses in a graphical representation.
4. The Mohr circle can be applied to any symmetric 2x2 tensor
matrix, including the strain and moment of inertia tensors.
5. Mohr's circle also used for the representation of both two- and
three-dimensional stresses and a failure criterion based on the
stress circle can be developed.
