Very cool.  Thanks.   However, the phrase "within deformable substances" in 
one writing provokes thoughts of mushability as opposed to fractureability.

Eager to read more Mohr.

Always wondered if in wood pegs or metal rivets the internal bending
elements of tension and compression were only passing miniscule events
within the cellular wood or crystalline structure that functioned until
their moment of failure, at which point shear was identified and a
measurement assigned.

Always wished for a more detailed course in engineering, including the
micro
realm.   Sort of an appreciation like the Eames film Powers of Ten.
