Question

According to maximum shear stress failure criterion, yielding in material occurs

when 

 

A.
maximum shear stress =
B.
maximum shear stress =
C.

maximum shear stress = 

D.
maximum shear stress = 2 × yield stress
Answer ( Option A)

maximum shear stress =

Solution

The Maximum Shear Stress theory (also called Tresca's criterion or Guest's theory) states that yielding in a material begins when the maximum shear stress in the complex stress system equals the maximum shear stress at yielding in simple uniaxial tension test.

Derivation:

In a simple tensile test, when the material reaches yield stress (σy), the specimen is under uniaxial stress:

The maximum shear stress in this uniaxial conditions is
