Some Mohr's circle examples

Consider the following four examples of states of plane stress.

  • Can you construct the Mohr's circle for these examples?
  • Can you determine the principal components of stress?
  • Can you determine the maximum magnitude in-plane shear stress?
  • Can you determine the plane on which the principal components of stress exist?
  • Can you determine the planes on which the maximum in-plane shear stresses exist?
