Introduction

Stress,by definition, is a vector as zuch in tbe real world one would expect 3

dimensionso be required o fully modela sfess field.Hower/er,sDecan often reduce

complex systemso a 2 dimensional tress ield where it is assumedhat the stressn

one direction is zero. In this handout he classicanatysisof a 2D stress ield will be

examined,n particular he applicationof Mohr's stresscircle to the uo6"1513adingf

2D stress.Further more firndamental xamples f the applicationof 2D stressnnalysis

wiii bepresented.

2D Stress heory

Consider a rectangular element, the

applied forces to the structure (of

which the elements a part) give rise o

two orthogonal direct stresses a

nominally horizontal direct stress, a

nominally vertical direa stressand a

shearstress as llustrated n Figure l).

Note that the orientationof the triangle

ABC may be rotated zuchthat it fits

the criteriaabove, he criteria doesnot

mean hat the triangleABC can only

lie in one direction. Further more,

considera planeat any angle0 relative o horizontalplane(note hat of signifies he

shessacting on the y planeand oy signifies he stressacting hex plane). t shouldbe

noted that o;, o, andrry are sfresseshat havebeendirectly applied o the strucfure,

og and re a.re tresses hicbarise rom that loading on ctDlplane.

If it is assumedhat the triangleABC hasunit width and tlur the hypoteneuss unit

lengtlr, then the area cjf AC is l, the areaof AB is cosOand the areaof BC is sixCI.

Utilising Newton's second aw of motion" and in partiorlar d'Alembert'sprinciple,expressionsor og andr0 may be obtained.

Upon close exarninatiorgquation1 revealrthat it'is"not"the complex'equationt

seems. ndeed, t is but an eguation or a circle (as llustrated n Figure 2) whose ures

are t and o, whose centre

lies on ((o*+or)/2,0).

Note that within the circle,

the anglss are twice what

they are in the real

structure (2e), further

more note that the angles

are measured from a

different datum to that

normd$ orperienced,hatis they aremeasuredrom

the o* plane.

It is interesting to note

tlat the combinationof the two orthogonal stressanda shearstresshas ncreasedhe

direct stresses ctingon the system.This fact is highlighted y the horizontaloris, this

is the direct stressacting on the syster4 and anyplanealigningwith this aris bas zero

Figure 3 is a graphicalrcprcscntationof a 2-D strain systemwhich exists within a

Anothercommon earurewith the stress ircle s that ncluded angleswithin thecircle

that the magnitude and directionsof the kincipal Strains can be found- Principal

Strains are direct strainswhich lie on a planeon which there s no shear similar to

principal stresses),hey are the maximum and minimum direct strains n the system

and are denotedEt Ezas ndicatedon Figure3.

If three direct strains and their respective orientations are known then the

constnrctionof a strain circle by geomebrys a fairly simple task. For example
