Answer:
The correct answer is A : Orientation dependence of normal and shear stresses at a point in mechanical members
Explanation:
Since we know that in a general element of any loaded object the normal and shearing stresses vary in the whole body which can be mathematically represented as
[tex]\sigma _{x'x'}=\frac{\sigma _{xx}+\sigma _{yy}}{2}+\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}cos(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}sin(2\theta )[/tex]
And [tex]\tau _{x'x'}=-\frac{\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy}}{2}sin(2\theta )+\tau _{xy}cos(2\theta )[/tex]
Mohr's circle is the graphical representation of the variation represented by the above 2 formulae in the general oriented element of a body that is under stresses.
The Mohr circle is graphically displayed in the attached figure.
