Stress Transformation
9.4 MOHR’S CIRCLE: PLANE STRESS
• Equations for plane stress transformation have a
graphical solution that is easy to remember and
use.
• This approach will help
you to “visualize” how the
normal and shear stress
components vary as the
plane acted on is oriented
in different directions.

9. Stress Transformation
EXAMPLE 9.14 (SOLN)
Absolute maximum shear stress
These same results can be obtained by drawing
Mohr’s circle for each orientation of an element about
the x’, y’, and z’ axes. Since max and min are of
opposite signs, then the absolute maximum shear
stress equals the maximum in-plane
shear stress. This results from a 45
rotation of the element about the z’
axis, so that the properly oriented
element is shown.
