Question 1

What happens when the maximum principal stress exceeds the critical value?

  • Failure occurs
  • The material is safe
  • It leads to deformation

💡 Hint: Recall what limits outline failure.

Question 2

True or False: The maximum shear stress theory and distortional energy theory are unrelated.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider their relationship to shear stress.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a beam subjected to varying loads and torques in live scenarios. How would you use both Maximum Shear Stress and Distortional Energy Theory to assess safety?

💡 Hint: Use experimental data from initial tests.

Question 2

A circular beam with maximum shear stress of 30 MPa and critical shear stress of 25 MPa fails under a load. Explain the design flaw based on failure theories.

💡 Hint: Reflect on critical values necessary for safety.
