We now finally come to the infamous Mohr’s circle! It’s something you’ll definitely be using for future Solid Mechanics/Design courses, so pay attention!
Mohr’s circle is basically a tool that maps all possible stress transformations in a circle. Once constructed, you can easily use it to obtain σ1, σ2, τmax in-plane, θp, θs or any stress from any angle of transformation.
Here’s how you construct it:
