Mohr's Circle Calculator
Interactive Mohr’s Circle calculator for stress transformation analysis. Visualize principal stresses, shear stresses, and rotated element states with precision.
Extended Description:
Engineer’s tool for 2D stress analysis using Mohr’s Circle method. Calculates principal stresses, maximum shear, and transformed stresses at any angle with graphical visualization. Essential for mechanical/civil engineering applications.
What It Is:
A digital implementation of Otto Mohr’s graphical method that:
- Transforms 2D stress components (σx, σy, τxy)
- Computes principal stresses and orientations
- Determines maximum shear stresses
- Visualizes stress states on interactive circle diagram
- Supports both metric (MPa) and imperial (psi) units
How To Use:
- Enter original stress components (σx, σy, τxy)
- Specify rotation angle θ (degrees)
- View automatically calculated:
- Principal stresses (σ1, σ2)
- Maximum shear stress (τmax)
- Transformed stresses (σx’, σy’, τx’y’)
- Interact with the graphical Mohr’s Circle display
