Mohr's circle for biaxial stress!!!
Mohr's circle for biaxial stress!!!
(OP)
Hi All!!
While in my UG one studies no. of topics which are ofcourse applied in the practical side too.
However i wonder whether topics such as Mohr's circle of biaxial stress, Baker's ultimate load analysis, etc. could be applied anywhere practically??
Has anyone used Mohr's circle of biaxial stress in their real practise??
Also, we read in details about Plastic Analysis, suppose to analyse a multistorey irregular frame(as most buildings are) is'nt it practically unlogical to do a Plastic Analysis?Where and when such things would one apply or whether will he ever apply practically??

Having worked for 3 years in a large building that was designed using plastic analysis, I'd say it works, tho whether it leads to the best design is another question.
So what was your question, really?

Mohr circles are used by geotechnical engineers to analyze the results of unconfined compression and triaxial shear tests on soil samples. The Mohr circle give them the soil angle of internal friction and the cohesion.
They are also used by structural engineers to analyze the results of load tests on structures using sets of directional stress gauges. The Mohr circles give, in this case, the direction and magnitude of the principal stresses.
Possibly there are more instances where Mohr circles are used in engineering, but I know (or remember) only of these two.
