What do we alternatively call the Von-Mises theory?

AMaximum principal stress theory

BMaximum principal strain theory

CMaximum Shear stress theory

DMaximum Shear strain energy theory

Answer:

D. Maximum Shear strain energy theory

Read Explanation:

The Von-Mises theory is also known as the Maximum Shear Strain Energy Theory or Distortion Energy Theory. It is suitable for ductile materials and is one of the theories of failure. The Von-Mises theory is represented graphically and helps in analyzing the failure of materials under stress.
