Facial Stresses:
Each Stress element has three sets of facial stresses, each consisting of a normal stress and a shear stress. The facial stresses are defined by the stresses acting on the three sets of parallel faces defining the cube. For the stress state shown the stresses are: B Faces Normal Stress, Shear Stress, A A B Left / Right or x-faces or A x - xy Top / Bottom Front / Back or y-faces or z-faces or B or C y 0 xy 0 y
x xy
Note: Normal stress is positive if it is a tensile stress (i.e. points away from the surface) Shear stress is positive if it tends to rotate the element clockwise.
Mohr's Plane:
Mohr's Plane is simply a set of axes that plots normal stress versus shear stress. Therefore each of the three facial stresses (which are defined by a normal stress and a shear stress) can be represented by a point on Mohr's Plane as shown.

Mohr's Circle is constructed by drawing a line from A to B; this is a diameter of the "in-plane" Mohr's circle for this state of stress. Since the shear stresses of A and B are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign, the center of the circle (Q) will always be on the normal stress axis. The center of Mohr's circle (Q) and the radius are determined from: Q= x+ 2

Note: The radius (R) is determined using one of the two identical triangles and the Pythagorean theorem.

The maximum "in-plane" shear stress is found from the top of Mohr's circle. The normal stress on the maximum "in-plane" shear stress plane is the average of x and y.
= Q
The plane with the maximum shear stress may not be on a plane parallel to the z-axis! To find THE maximum shear stress a three dimensional Mohr's circle must be used. This is constructed using the three principal stresses: three circles are constructed using pairs of the principal stresses as endpoints of the diameters. The shaded area between the circles is the locus of all possible facial stresses no matter what the orientation of the face. Therefore, the maximum shear stress is the radius of the largest of the three circles.
