CHAPTER 4
COMBINED STRESSES AND
STRESS TRANSFORMATIONS
NOTES CONCERNING THE SOLUTIONS PRESENTED FOR
MOHR’S CIRCLE PROBLEMS IN CHAPTER 4:
1. The objectives for all problems are to transform the given data for normal and shear
2. In general, the procedures follow:
3. It would be helpful to review Example Problems 4-1 and 4-2 that demonstrate these
procedures.
4. Also, Example Problems 4-3 to 4-6 show completed Mohr’s circles for sets of given data
5. Problem 4-1 is shown in three forms;
a. The given data are processed using the equations in Section 4-3, particularly equations
b. Then the 2D Mohr’s circle is generated manually using the same input data. The three
6. The remaining problems are shown using software to perform the calculations and to
generate the Mohr’s circles for both 2D and 3D analysis. Note for these problems:
a. The software operates only with U.S. units. SI values are converted to U.S. units.
