plots the Mohr Circle

Usage

MohrCircle_plot(
  sigmaX = NA,
  sigmaZ = NA,
  tauXZ = NA,
  sigma1 = NA,
  sigma3 = NA,
  metric = TRUE
)

Arguments

sigmaX

numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting in the horizontal direction

sigmaZ

numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting in the vertical direction

tauXZ

numeric. Magnitude of shear stress acting on the same plane as "sigmaX"

sigma1

numeric. Magnitude of major principal stress

sigma3

numeric. Magnitude of minor principal stress

metric

logical variable: TRUE for metric units (kPa), and FALSE for English units

Note

One of the following two sets of data must be entered
