(b) Figure Q1 shows ceramic specimens subjected to the pure uniaxial force. Specimen A is compressed until failure at the maximum compressive force, Fc = 31.12 kN. Meanwhile, specimen B experiences tension that reached the maximum tensile force, Ft= 4.98 kN. The surface area perpendicular to the force has the size of 8.5 mm width and 100 mm length.

(6 marks) Determine the important parameters of Gavg, R, Omin and Mohr's circle for specimens A and B at the same t-o plane. (iii) If the orientation of element is set at 0p = 15° and 9 p= 30°, discuss the changes that may occur to Mohr's circle. (4 marks)
