The Efficient Engineer - Understanding Stress Transformation and Mohr's Circle, 01082019

This video looks at stress transformation and Mohr’s circle. Stress transformation is a way of determining the normal and shear stress components acting at a specific location within a body, as we rotate the coordinate system we are using to observe the stresses. Mohr's circle is a simple but powerful technique used to represent stress transformation graphically. It is used to determine principal stresses, the angle of rotation to the principal planes, and the maximum shear stress.
