Mohr

Mohr's circle is a graphical method to represent the stress state at a point of a solid. It allows the stresses to be understood at a glance. Mohr's circles relate the normal and shear stresses on planes of any orientation to the principal stresses. Today, principal stresses can be determined numerically, but Mohr's circle remains useful as a visual check on solutions and when calculators fail. It graphically shows the relationship between stresses on different planes around a point under biaxial loading.

Mohr's circle

"Mohr's circles are a method to graphically represent the stress state suffered by a point of a solid
at a given instant." Although currently, thanks to computers, it is possible to calculate stresses
with great precision without resorting to these methods, they are still highly valid since they make
the stress situation of the solid understandable at a single glance.

flat effort

Plane Stress The state of stress in two dimensions, ie biaxial, is also known as plane stress. Plane
stress requires that a principal stress be equal to zero. This situation is common in some
applications. For example, a thin plate or shell may also have a flat stress state away from its edges
or attachment points.

Mohr's circle

Mohr's circles4 have long been a way of graphically solving and determining the principal stresses
for the case of planar stresses. Many textbooks on machine design present the Mohr circle
method as a primary solution technique for the determination of principal stresses. Before the
advent of calculators and programmable computers, Mohr's graphical method was a reasonable
and practical way of solving.

Today, however, it is much more practical to determine the principal stresses numerically.
However, we present the graphical method for several reasons. It can serve as a quick check on a
numerical solution, or it may be the only viable method if the power to your computer fails or your
calculator batteries die. It also serves the useful purpose of being a visual presentation of the
stress status at a point.

Mohr's circle stresses

Mohr's circle of stresses is an application of Mohr's circle to the calculation of stresses in


planes with different orientations around a point on a part subjected to a biaxial stress
state. If a differential element is drawn around the analyzed point, with two planes oriented
according to a plane x-y axis system and the third

inclined a generic angle Establishing the balance of forces in the directions of σ and τ
in said element, we have:
El círculo de Mohr de tensiones es un círculo dibujado en el plano σ-τ en el que cada
punto de su circunferencia representa las tensiones normales y cortantes en un plano AB
con una inclinación cualquiera. Así los puntos X e Y de la figura corresponden a los planos
perpendiculares a los ejes x e y. Como se observa se sitúan en puntos opuestos del círculo,
a 180º. Los puntos de corte de la circunferencia con el eje τ=0 corresponden a los planos
principales y de la figura se deduce que el valor de σ en dichos puntos es el valor de las
tensiones principales (σ1, σ2) obtenido mediante las ecuaciones (8) y (9). Estos planos están
igualmente separados un ángulo de 180º en el círculo, indicando que el ángulo entre los
planos principales es de 90º en la realidad. En general, dos planos entre los cuales hay un

ángulo   en la realidad están separados un ángulo 2  en el círculo de Mohr. En la


figura se observa también que el ángulo φ entre los planos principales y los planos x,y,

obtenido mediante la expresión (7) queda representado por 2  en el círculo de Mohr.
El círculo de Mohr se utiliza como recurso gráfico para el análisis de las tensiones
en estados tensionales biaxiales.

Para dibujar correctamente el círculo de Mohr deben tenerse en cuenta los


siguientes detalles:

 El sentido de giro del ángulo φ en el círculo se corresponde con el


sentido de giro del plano AB en la realidad
 El signo de las tensiones tangenciales (τ) se toma como positivo si giran
en sentido de las agujas del reloj alrededor del elemento diferencial y
negativo en caso contrario.
 El ángulo entre dos radios del círculo equivale al doble del ángulo entre
los planos reales correspondientes.
