Mohr Circle of Stress

(σ_n − c)² + τ² = R²
Mohr Circle of Stress

Rotate the plane you cut through a stressed rock and the normal and shear stress acting on it trace out a circle — the Mohr construction that tells a structural geologist exactly which orientation is closest to failure.

Computed & rendered in pure C# on the frozen OnlyCSharp 1.8 library — animation baked to GIF with the library's own Gif encoder (no GPU, no ffmpeg, no external packages).
