Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

When does the Maximum Normal Stress Theory predict failure?

  • When maximum stress is less than yield strength
  • When maximum principal stress exceeds yield stress
  • When shear stress is maximum

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what provides the limits for brittle materials.

Question 2

True or False: The Factor of Safety only considers the yield strength of a material.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the definition of FoS.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A crankshaft experiences cyclic loads from an engine. Use the Goodman criterion to determine if a material is suitable based on given loads and endurance limits.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Work through the stress calculations carefully.

Question 2

Design a structural beam using all three static theories. Justify which failure theory is optimal for its application, considering material properties and loading conditions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think critically about how each theory applies to real-world stresses.
