[Machine Design] - Theories of failure under static load
Theories of failure under static load
- Need of these theories
The principal theories of failure for machine member subjected to bi-axial stress are as follows.
1] Maximum Principal (or normal) Stress theory (Also known as Rankine Theory)
2] Maximum Shear Stress theory (also known as Guest’s or Tresca’s theory )
3] Maximum principal (or normal) Strain theory (Also known as Saint Venant Theory)
4] Maximum Strain energy theory (also known as Haigh’s theory)
5] Maximum distortion energy theory (also known as Hencky & Von Mises theory)
For brittle materials, the limiting strength is the ultimate stress tension or compression
For ductile materials, the limiting stress is the stress at yield point.

ShrinkDWorld1] Maximum Principal or normal Stress theory ( Rankine Theory) -->
According to this theory, the members fails when maximum principal or normal stress in system reaches to limiting value.
Limiting stresses
For ductile material is yield stress
For brittle material (do not have well definite yield point) is ultimate stress.
According to above theory, taking factor of safety (F.S.) in account , the principal or normal stress (δt1 ) in a bi-axial stress system is given by
δt1= δyt/F.S. For ductile materials
δt1= δut/ F.S. For brittle materials
Where,
δyt =Yield stress in tensile test
δut = Ultimate stress
This theory is generally used for brittle materials.[FONT="]

ShrinkDWorld2] Maximum Shear Stress theory (Guest’s or Tresca’s theory ) -->
According to this theory, the failure is occurs at a point in member when maximum shear stress reaches to the value equal to shear stress at yield point in simple tension test.
Mathematically
τmax = τyt/F.S.
where,
τmax = Maximum shear stress in system
F.S.= factor of sefty
τyt = Shear stress at yield point determined from simple tension test. -
ShrinkDWorld3] Maximum principal (or normal) Strain theory (Also known as Saint Venant's Theory)
According to this theory the failure/ yielding occurs at a point when maximum principal strain reaches to limiting value of strain.

#-Link-Snipped-#
where
δ[SUB]t1[/SUB]& δ[SUB]t2[/SUB] = Maximum & minimum principal stresses.
ε= strain at yield point.
1/m = Passions ratio
E= Youngâs Modulus.
F.S.= Factor of safety
This theory is rarely used due to unreliable results in many cases. -

Now below we can discuss above topic. -
scot davidsonAm really sorry to disturb you but would you mind having a look at this question for me as I don't know what approach to take with this question thank you
