Mohr'c Circle is a great way to visualize relationship of normal stresses and shear stresses of an element. I could not help myself to program this fascinating tool. The program is made using HTML5 Canvas element and brought into life by Javascript.
Adjust the input slider to enter normal stresses, shear stress or angle. The transformation results are summarized at right.
| \( \sigma_x \) | ||
| \( \sigma_y \) | ||
| \( \tau_{xy} \) | ||
| \( \theta \) |
| \( \sigma_x^\prime\) | MPa |
| \( \tau_x^\prime \) | MPa |
| Center | |
| Radius |
| Max Normal | MPa |
| Min Normal | MPa |
| Max Shear | MPa |
| Min Shear | MPa |
(The circle will update as you adjust the sliders)
