Question

Arrange the following steps in correct sequence to construct Mohr’s circle for a given plane stress \((\sigma_x, \sigma_y, \tau_{xy})\): A. Plot center at \(\left(\frac{\sigma_x+\sigma_y}{2}, 0\right)\)
B. Identify principal stresses as horizontal intercepts
C. Plot points \(X(\sigma_x,-\tau_{xy})\) and \(Y(\sigma_y,\tau_{xy})\)
D. Connect points X and Y and draw a circle

• A. C, A, D, B
• B. A, D, B, C
• C. C, A, B, D
• D. A, C, D, B

Hint:

Always plot stress points first, then center, then circle, then read results.
