<p>The best way to start understanding Mohr Circles is this Youtube Video about stress on an inclined plane:</p>

<p>Structural geologists use Mohr diagram to evaluate stress on rock's surface, but I find it difficult to understand how this diagram works (Though I am good at math). Where can I find a good explanation of Mohr diagram?    </p>

This is rather an open-ended question. Try to be more specific. Have you already done some reading or research and got stuck? There are so many documents online, and videos in YouTube, it's hard to know where to start.
