The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the analysis ...

Mohr’s circle is a convenient means by which we can visualize the results of the stress transformation relationships for a state of plane stress. Recall that in order for us to draw Mohr’s circle, we ...

A rotation of the stress element through an angle of θ corresponds to a point on Mohr’s circle located at an angle of 2θ in Mohr’s plane from the x-axis.Carefully study the three components of stress ...
