Answer to Question #297677 in Mechanical Engineering for Harsh

Question

Listed below is a combination of stresses acting at a point and referred to axes x and y in an elastic material. Using Mohr’s circle of stress determine the principal stresses at the point and their directions for each combination. 

i) sigma x=-60 N/mm^2, sigma y=-36N/mm^2, shear stress (xy) =5N/mm^2

ii) sigma x=30 N/mm^2, sigma y=-50N/mm^2, shear stress (xy) =30N/mm^2
