Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have principal strains of 5000 microstrain and 2000 microstrain. Calculate the maximum shear strain using Mohr’s circle and clearly show your calculations.

💡 Hint: Focus on the differences between the two strains when calculating the shear.

Question 2

Explain how the concept of Mohr’s circle can provide a broader understanding of strain states than simply looking at principal strains alone.

💡 Hint: Consider the benefits of visualizing strain states in context.
