Select the odd one.

AMaximum shear strain energy theory

BDistortion energy theory

CVon Mises-Henky theory

DMaximum shear stress theory

Answer:

D. Maximum shear stress theory

Read Explanation:

The four theories discussed are Maximum shear stress theory, Distortion energy theory, Von Mises-Henky theory, and Maximum shear strain energy theory. The odd one out is Maximum shear stress theory, as it assumes failure occurs when maximum shear stress exceeds the shear strength, while the other three are based on yielding and plastic deformation.
