Mohr circle solution and plot

Solves a Mohr circle problem for the given normal stresses, shear stress, and rotation angle, and plots the results.

Usage

Mohr_Circle(sigx, sigy, tauxy, theta = 0, digits = 5, units = "kPa")

Arguments

sigx

A number corresponding with the mayor normal stress

sigy

A number corresponding with the minor normal stress

tauxy

A number corresponding with the shear stress

theta

Angle of rotation for which to find the state of stresses

digits

Number of significant digits to us

units

A string with the units of the measurements

Value

A list containing a data frame with the results, and a ggplot object with the Mohr circle
