Mohr’s Circle:

σy, τyx
σ
σx, τxy
Use sign convention “in the kitchen, the clock is above and the counter is below” for the shear stresses. Then, rotations in the Mohr’s circle have the same direction and double the rotation angle of the physical stresses. For Mohr’s circle of strain, use ε and γ/2 in place of σ and τ.
