Abstract
Mohr’s Circle is a graphical representation of the state of plane stress at a point. It is an important concept to learn for the understanding of plane stress transformation. However, it remains a challenge for both engineering as well as engineering technology students to understand the principles of Mohr’s Circle. In this paper, an emphasis is given to identify the source of pedagogical difficulty and a simple rule-based method is presented as a new approach for effective teaching as well as learning. It is a viable method to understand the Mohr’s Circle and its application to plane stress transformation.
