During an RRB JE solution review on Mohr Circle, what is the safest statement about radius of the stress circle? Avoid the common trap that it represents Young's modulus.
Strength of MaterialsMohr CircleMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
it represents Young's modulus
B
it represents the average normal stress
C
it represents the bulk modulus
D
it represents the maximum in-plane shear stress
Correct Answer
D. it represents the maximum in-plane shear stress
Why is this the answer?
The circle radius equals half the difference of principal stresses. Correct option: D.
