Guest's theory of failure is applicable for following type of materials
Which theory of failure represents the given statement? 'The failure will occur in a material when the maximum principal strain reaches the strain due to yield stress in simple tension or when the minimum principal strain reaches the strain due to yield stress in simple compression.'
The stresses at a point on the circumference of a circular rod in tension and shear are 120 MPa and 60 MPa respectively. If the yield strength of the rod material is 340 MPa, the factor of safety in the rod material using maximum shear stress theory is nearly equal to
St. Venant proposed the - theory.
Region of safety for maximum principal stress theory under bi-axial stress is shown by:
