2D stress transformation

Presets
Mohr's circle is a graphical way to transform a 2D stress state to any rotated axis. The circle's center is the average normal stress and its radius is the maximum shear. Where it crosses the horizontal axis gives the principal stresses — the orientation with zero shear. Educational tool.
Data Inspector
σ₁ (max principal)92.4 MPa
σ₂ (min principal)7.6 MPa
τmax42.4 MPa
Principal angle22.5°
Governing equation
Reading this result: The circle radius sets τmax = 42.4 MPa on planes 45° from the principals; rotate the element by 22.5° to reach the shear-free principal orientation.
