Mohr (Christian Otto Mohr)

Christian Otto Mohr was a German engineer and researcher known for developing Mohr’s circle, a graphical tool in engineering. Mohr’s circle helps visualize and analyze the internal stresses and strains within materials under various forces. It allows engineers to determine the maximum and minimum stresses at any point in a material and understand how different types of forces combine. This method simplifies complex calculations, making it easier to assess a structure’s safety and integrity, especially in fields like civil and mechanical engineering. Mohr’s work remains fundamental in understanding material behavior under load.
