Design of shafts made of brittle material is based on

AGuest's theory

BRankine's theory

CSt. Venant's theory

DVon Mises theory

Answer:

B. Rankine's theory

Read Explanation:

Shafts made of brittle materials are designed based on Rankine's theory, also known as maximum normal stress theory. This theory is suitable for brittle materials and is represented graphically.
