Mohr’s Circle - Stress

 

Example:  (continued)

                                           

                                                       

 

 

So the stresses on the element at C as viewed in the  − y-direction are shown in

the figure below:

             

 

Now  σZ  =  PO/A  and  τZX =  Tc/J

 

Plot these stresses using Mohr’s Circle to find the principal normal stresses at C.

 

Note:  Since these stresses are independent of  L,  the same values of stress apply at

location B.

 

For the given data:     σZ  =  10,000/ (4π)  =  2500/π  psi

J = π(24)/2 = 8π  So    τZX =  − 10,000)(2) / 8π/ =   − 2500/π psi
