 BEGINNING NOTE(STRESS AND STRAIN)
Stress is the force applied to an object. In geology,
stress is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock.
Types of Stress
• Compressive
stress applied
from opposite
sides towards the
center.
• Resulting strain –
rock becomes
shorter and
thicker.
Shortening strain:
Block becomes shorter parallel to stress and thicker
perpendicular to stress
• Tensional stress(extensional stress) is applied from opposite
sides away the center.
• Resulting strain – rock becomes longer and thinner.
Shear stress is applied in opposite directions parallel to the center.
Resulting strain– warping, but no shortening or elongation.
Elongation strain:
Block becomes longer parallel to stress and thinner
perpendicular to stress
Shear strain:Block neither shortens nor elongates parallel to stress
• NORMAL STRESS(n):
acts perpendicular to the
surface to which a force
has been applied and can
be either
compressional(positive
values) or
tensional(negative values)
in character.
• DIRECTED STRESS:
varies with direction,
hence a stone slab creates
directed stress because
there is a force in one
direction only.
 Unlike the stress that can’t be observed in the geological bodies, strain is
observable as a consequence of stress. If the geological bodies are
transported in bulk from one place to another due to which position of a
particles in the body change, they are called to have undergone rigid body
translation or displacement.
STRAIN
 The strain can be defined as a change in shape, location or
size of the body, geological or otherwise due to application of
force of stress.
INTRODUCTION
• Mohr’s circle is a graphical representation of a
general state of stress at a point. It is a graphical
method used for evaluation of principal stresses,
maximum shear stress; normal and tangential
stresses on any given plane.
• The Mohr circle describes the normal and shear
stress acting on planes of all possible orientations
through a point in the rock. MOHR CIRCLE OF STRESS
• Mohr’s circle is named after German Civil Engineer Otto Mohr .He developed the graphical
method in 1882.
IN THE GIVEN SLIDE WE CAN STUDY STEP BY STEP PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION OF MOHR’S CIRCLE
THROUGH AN EXAMPLE

In Mohr's circle , the two principal stress
planes that are actually separated by 90º
are represented 180º apart i.e., to achieve
a rotation of 90º you need to rotate by 180º.
Therefore for every 1º rotation you need to
rotate by 2º on the Mohr's circle.
Note the use of double angles
IN 3D AXIS THE ANGLE BETWEEN PRINCIPAL PLANES IS
90° BUT AS WE ARE REPRESENTING IT ON A SEMI-CIRCLE
SO WE ARE TAKING ANGLE AS 2Θ SO ACTUAL ANGLE CAN
BE FOUND OUT BY DIVIDING IT BY 2.

Characteristic states of stress are illustrated in the Mohr diagram for 3D stress

•Brittle Deformation – Faults, fractures
and Joints
•Ductile deformation – Folds, foliations
and lineations
•Brittle materials have a small or large region of elastic
behavior but only a small region of ductile behavior
before they fracture.
•Ductile materials have a small region of elastic
behavior and a large region of ductile behavior before
they fracture.
MOHR CIRCLE IS MOSTLY APPLIED IN BRITTLE DEFORMATION CASES AS
SUDDEN RUPTURE DO OCCUR WHILE IT IS RARELY APPLIED IN DUCTILE
DEFORMATION i.e.IN FINITE STRAIN CASE.

CONTINUES………
Pore pressure increases chances of failure
CONTINUES…….
σ
s
Different rock behave differently to pore pressure
In sandstone and
shale σ1 is same
but σ3 is different
in both rocks, so
differential stress
is more for
sandstone than
for shale, so
amount of pore
pressure needed
for sandstone
deformation is
less than for
shale .
WHY SHEAR FRACTURES DO NOT FORM AT 45° TO THE LARGEST PRINCIPAL
STRESS ?
Navier and Coulomb both showed that Shear fractures do not simply form
along the theoretical surfaces of maximum shear stress.
Maximum resolved shear stress on a plane is obtained when the plane is
oriented 45° to the maximum principal stress(Θ=45°).This fact is easily
extracted from the Mohr diagram , where the value for shear stress is at its
maximum when 2Θ=90°.However,in this situation the normal stress σn across
the plane is fairly large. Both σs and σn decrease as Θ increases, but σn
decreases faster than σs. The optimal balance between σn and σs depends on
the angle of internal friction φ,and is predicted by the Coulomb criterion to be
around 60° for many rock types .At this angle (Θ=60°) σs is still large ,while σn
is considerably less. The angle depends also on the confining pressure (depth
of deformation),temperature and pore fluid ,and experimental data indicate
that there is a wide scatter even for the same rock type and conditions.
P1 is the plane of maximum resolved shear stress (2Θ=90°) and forms at 45°
to σ1.The plane P2 oriented at 30° to σ1 has a slightly lower shear stress (the
difference is Δσs ),but a much lower normal stress (by Δσn).It is therefore
easier for a shear fracture to form along P2 than along P1.
APPLICATIONS:
The Coulomb fracture criterion occurs as two straight lines(red) in the Mohr diagram . The
circles represent examples of critical states of stress . The blue line represents Griffith
criterion for comparison . The combination of the two is sometimes used(GC in the tensile
regime and CC in the compressional regime). CC, Coulomb criterion ; GC , Griffith criterion
;C , the cohesive strength of the rock ; T , the tensile strength of the rock
Where……
σs =critical shear stress
C=cohesive strength
σn =normal stress
Φ=angle of internal friction
(a)Stable
state of
stress
(b) Critical situation
,where the circle
touches the
envelope . This is
when the rock is at
the verge of failure
,also called critically
stressed
(c)Unstable
situation where the
state of stress is
higher than that
required for failure
Three different fracture criteria combined in Mohr
space . Different styles of fracturing are related to
confining pressure: (a)Tensile fracture (b)hybrid or
mixed mode fracture (c) shear fracture (d)semi-ductile
shear bands (e) plastic deformation
The effect of pumping up the pore fluid
pressure Pt in a rock . The Mohr circle is
“pushed” to the left (the mean stress is
reduced) and a shear fracture will form if the
fracture envelope is touched while σ3 is still
positive . A tensile fracture forms if the
envelope is reached in the tensile field , as
shown in(b) (low differential stress)
Coulomb envelope modified for tensile and
ductile failure The effect of a pre-existing fracture(plane of weakness),illustrated in the
Mohr diagram . The criterion for reactivation(frictional sliding) is different
from that of an unfractured rock of the same kind , and the differential
stress required to reactivate the fracture is considerably smaller than that
required to generate a new fracture in the rock.
SOME APPLICATIONS………………………….
In detection of stability of
• Bridges
• Dams
• Tunnels
• Slope
MOHR’S STRAIN DIAGRAM
• We had the following Equations for
the strain ellipse:
’= (’1+’2/2)-((’2-’1/2) cos 2’)
And ’ =/= (’2-’1 /2) sin2
• These equations are in same from as
the equations for the circle;
X=c – r cos 
y= rsin
• Where the center of the circle is located a (c,0)
on the x-axis and the circle has a radius of “r”.
Thus the above equations define a circle with a
center at
(c,0)=(’2+’1/2,0) andradiusr=(’2-’1/2)
• These equations are the Mohr’s circle for finite
strain. The strain can represented by Mohr’s
circle graphically
