What should be the minimum uniaxial yield stress of the material so that it does not fail,
according to the (a) Tresca criterian (b) Von Mises criterion. What do the theories predict when
the yield stress of the material is 80MPa?
2) a) Define yield surface. Write two assumption for yield surface. Draw yield surface in 3-D
principal stress space.
b) Write atleast four assumption in plasticity theory.
3) a) Write the theory of Haigh-Westergaard Stress Space. Write two significance of HaighWestergaard Stress Space.
b) Write a short note on anisotropic plasticity.
Note- Each question of 10 marks.
