A Mohr envelope is a graphical representation used in soil mechanics and rock mechanics to illustrate the failure criteria of materials under shear and normal stress conditions. It is derived from the Mohr circle, which plots normal stress versus shear stress. The envelope is typically defined by the failure points of the material and is used to determine the maximum shear stress that can occur before failure occurs, helping engineers assess stability in various geotechnical applications.
