Our aim in this section is to calculate the stress components in different planes at the same point and draw the 3D Mohr circle while there is a three-dimensional stress state (6 stress components) at one point.

(It is the geometric expression of the stress components in all diagonal planes..)

The stress we want to find.

Our first goal is to find the S resultant stress that occurs on a 4th inclined plane.

Tip-6.2.1:

Known values: Cartesian stress components (σx , σy , σz , τyz , τxz , τyz), and the angles made by the normal of the inclined plane whose stress we want to calculate, with the axes (𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾). In future calculations, we will always aim to find unknown values ​​in terms of these known values.

Tip -6.2.2:

If the stress components with respect to a Cartesian axis system are known, the stress components with respect to all axis systems at the same point can be calculated.

  • We should always keep these tips in mind to avoid conceptual confusion.
