Question
Find the correct match between the plane stress states and the Mohr’s circles.

Correct answer
(A) (P)-(III); (Q)-(IV); (R)-(I); (S)-(II)
Solution
1.State (P): . The Mohr's circle is centered at with radius , passing through and on the -axis. This matches (III).
2.State (R): . The Mohr's circle is centered at with radius , passing through and on the -axis. This matches (I).
3.State (Q): Pure shear . The principal stresses are . The circle is centered at with radius . This matches (IV).
4.State (S): . The principal stresses are and . The circle is centered at with radius . This matches (II).
Comparing with options, (A) is the correct match.Continue learning with Success Tracker
