ABSTRACT
Point 0 is the origin of coordinates for t~e center of the Mohr circle of stress. With center C a circle may now be constructed with radius
~~((J"y -(J"J2+4T~ This circle which passes through points PI and P2 is called the Mohr circle of stress. The
Mohr circle intersects the abscissa at two points E and F . The major and minor principal stresses are a1 (= OF) and a3 (= OE) respectively.
