I am not sure if the term is used in cars and vehicles, but in the mechanics of materials, Mohr's circle is a graphical approach for finding solutions of stresses (or strains) of an element when the coordinate axes are rotated by a certain angle. In other words when you want to find the stresses (or strains) on a plane that is inclined to a certain angle from the plane of known stresses. When the technique is used for stresses, you draw a Mohr's circle of stresses and if it is for strains, you get the Mohr's circle of strains. When you work out the algebraic equations that transform known stresses (or strains) at a point to stresses (or strains) in an inclined plane, they result into an equation of a circle on a coordinate system whose horizontal axis is formed by the normal stress (or strain) and the vertical axis is formed by the shear stress (or strain). It is called the Mohr's circle since the technique was first developed by a German engineer called Otto Mohr.

Why does the harder material scratch the softer material in mohrs?

The Mohs scale definition of hardness is that a harder material has the ability to scratch a softer material. So (according to the Mohs definition) one material can scratch another one because it is harder.


What is MOHRS hardness?

Mohr's scale of hardness is used for minerals found in the earth. It basically refers to the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material.The Mohr's Scale of hardness defines ten standard minerals on a hardness scale with hardness from 1 to 10, 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest.The minerals are mentioned below.1. Talc2. Gypsum3. Calcite4. fluorite5. apatite6. Feldspar7. Quartz8. Topaz9. Corrundum10. Diamond'It is used in the following manner,A particular mineral is taken and scratched on the ten minerals mentioned above starting either from the 1 or 10 and based on its ability to produce a scratch on the softer material, its hardness is calculated.
