The angle α  between point x and point n is thus180 20.6 45 114.4α   = ° − ° − ° = °

counterclockwise direction. The correct stresses on the n and t  faces are shown in the sketch below.

orientation of the plane relative to the  x face of the stress element. Looking at the stress element, weobserve that the normal to the indicated plane is oriented 21.80° counterclockwise from the x axis. In

Mohr’s circle, all angle measures are doubled; therefore, point n (which represents the state of stress

on the n plane) on Mohr’s circle is rotated 2(21.80°) = 43.60° counterclockwise  from point  x. Theangle between point n and point 2 is

The σ  p2 principal plane is rotated 14.0362° clockwise from the x face of the stress element. We needto find the point on Mohr’s circle that corresponds to the  x face of the stress element. Since we know

the location of σ  p2 on Mohr’s circle, we can begin there and rotate 2θ  p in the opposite direction to find

 point x. Therefore, beginning at point σ  p2, rotate 2(14.0362°) = 28.0724° counterclockwise to locate point x. The σ  coordinate of point x is found from:
