 WHAT ARE PRINCIPLE STRESS AND STRAIN ?

 Planes that have no shear stress are called Principle stress.

 Principal planes carry only normal stresses.

 Maximum and minimum normal strain possible for a specific point on a

structural element.
 THE MOHR DIAGRAM
• The relationship between plane orientation and the values of normal/shear stress
is difficult to determine using the stress ellipses. Instead it is much more
convenient to use Mohr diagrams.
• The horizontal axis contains the possible values for the normal stresses while the
vertical axis contains the values for the shear stresses.
• The Mohr circle completely represents the state of stress at a point in terms of
the normal and shear components. Furthermore, each point represents a different
plane orientation. Example of a Mohr Circle. The figure shows how different parts
of the circle are calculated.
• The principal stresses, σ1 and σ3, are the points of intersection of the Mohr circle
with the !n axis.
 Angles are doubled when converted from physical space to
Mohr diagrams. Angles are measured counterclockwise
from the major principal stress.
 There are two points on the Mohr circle with the same
normal and shear components, but act on differently
oriented planes.
 The maximum shear stress is located at the top of the
Mohr circle
 If you know the normal and shear stresses on two
perpendicular planes, it is possible to plot the Mohr circle.
With the circle, the surface stresses can be determined for
any other orientation.
WHAT IS MAJOR AND MINOR PRINCIPAL STRESS ?
 The general state of stress can be represented by a symmetric 3 x 3 matrix. It is
always possible to choose a coordinate system such that all shear stresses are
zero. ... σ1 is the maximum (most tensile) principal stress, σ3 is
the minimum(most compressive) principal stress.
 PRINCIPAL STRESSES

Principal stresses are the normal stresses () acting on the principal planes
(planes which are at an angle of Ɵp and Ɵp+90, where the shear stress is
zero).

 MOHR DIAGRAM FOR 3-D

Three-dimensional stress is plotted on a Mohr diagram as three

Mohr circles. Each circle is a graph of the surface stress
components on sets of planes that are parallel to one of the
principle axes. All three principle stresses are plotted as points on
the σ n axis, and each point is common to two of the Mohr circles.
The components of surface stresses on all planes must lie inside the
largest Mohr circles and outside the two smaller circles as depicted
by the shaded area in the above diagram. With the mean normal
stress being defined by :
