8.2 Mohr's Circle in Plane Stress

This video is part of the "Mechanics of Deformable Solids" course offered at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In this lecture, we introduce the Mohr's circle approach, which offers a graphical method to determine the maximum normal stress (principal stress), maximum shear stress (maximum in-plane shear), and directions along which these stresses are observed (principal axis).
