plots the Mohr Circle

Usage

Mohr_plot(
  sigma_x = NA,
  sigma_z = NA,
  tau_xz = NA,
  sigma1 = NA,
  sigma3 = NA,
  unit = "MPa",
  col = "black",
  n = 512,
  ...
)

Arguments

sigma_x

numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting in the horizontal direction

sigma_z

numeric. Magnitude of normal stress acting in the vertical direction

tau_xz

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

sigma1

numeric. Magnitude of major principal stress

sigma3

numeric. Magnitude of minor principal stress

unit

character. The unit used for magnitude of stress ("MPa" by default).

col

color for Mohr circle.

n

integer. Resolution given amount of points along the generated path representing the full Mohr circle (512 by default).

...

optional graphical parameters.

Note

One of the following two sets of data must be entered

  1. "sigma_x", "sigma_z", "tau_xz"

  2. "sigma1", "sigma3"
