Mohr circle is a graphical way of representing the state of stress in a solid body. It is used to graphically construct the normal and shear stresses acting on a plane of arbitrary orientation (θ) through a point in the formation. All possible combinations of shear and normal stresses fall inside the Mohr circle and it can be used in two or three dimensions. | Mohr circle is a graphical way of representing the state of stress in a solid body.
