MOHR’S STRESS CIRCLE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (MCQ) WITH ANSWERS
MOHR’S STRESS CIRCLE
MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
(MCQ) WITH ANSWERS
MCQ on Mohr’s circle increases
knowledge about principal
stresses. Principal stresses are
maximum and minimum normal
stresses. It also gives maximum
shear stress as difference of the
two principal stresses. Find Principal
planes and planes of maximum
shear stress from Mohr’s
stress circle. Radius represents
the value of maximum shear
stress. θ on stressed element
appears as 2θ on Mohr’s circle.
A point on the circumference
represents the state of stress on
an inclined plane within the
stressed element. Make all measurement
of stresses from the pole.
Design a beam independently
on the basis of maximum principal
stress and maximum shear stress.
Finally select a beam giving
maximum dimensions.
