The principles of Il cerchio di Mohr can also be directly applied to analyze the two-dimensional state of sottoporre a tensione in un punto. Sostituendo il normale stress ([latex]\sigma[/latex]) with normal strain ([latex]\epsilon[/latex]) and sforzo di taglio ([latex]\tau[/latex]) with half the shear strain ([latex]\gamma/2[/latex]), an analogous circle can be constructed. This graphical tool helps determine principal strains and the maximum shear strain.
