Static Failure Design Criteria problems

A ductile bar is made of AISI 1030 hot-rolled steel. Using the distortion-energy (DE) and maximum-shear-stress
(MSS) theories determine the factors of safety for the following plane stress states:
a) σx = 25 ksi, σy = 15 ksi a) MSS: F.S. = 1.5, DE: F.S. = 1.72
b) σx = 15 ksi, σy = −15 ksi b) MSS: F.S. = 1.25, DE: F.S. = 1.44
c) σx = 20 ksi, τxy = −10 ksi c) MSS: F.S. = 1.33, DE: F.S. = 1.42
d) σx = −12 ksi,σy = 15 ksi,τxy = −9 ksi d) MSS: F.S. = 1.16, DE: F.S. = 1.33
e) σx = −24 ksi, σy = −24 ksi, τxy = −15 ksi e) MSS: F.S. = 0.96 (failure), DE: F.S. = 1.06

A brittle material has the properties Sut = 30 ksi and Suc = 90 ksi. Using the brittle Coulomb-Mohr (BCM) and
modified-Mohr (MM) theories, determine the factor of safety for the following states of plane stress.
a) σx = 25 ksi, σy = 15 ksi a) BCM: F.S. = 1.2, MM: F.S. = 1.2,
b) σx = 15 ksi, σy = −15 ksi b) BCM: F.S. = 1.5, MM: F.S. = 2.0,
c) σx = 20 ksi, τxy = −10 ksi c) BCM: F.S. = 1.18, MM: F.S. = 1.24,
d) σx = −15 ksi, σy = 10 ksi, τxy = −15 ksi d) BCM: F.S. = 1.23, MM: F.S. = 1.60,
e) σx = −20 ksi, σy = −20 ksi, τxy = −15 ksi e) BCM: F.S. = 2.57, MM: F.S. = 2.57

A cast aluminum 195-T6 exhibits Sut = 36 ksi, Suc = 35 ksi, and εf = 0.045. For the given state of plane stress: σx =
−10 ksi; σy = −15 ksi; τxy = 10 ksi, determine the factor of safety: (a) using the Coulomb-Mohr theory, (b) using the
modified-Mohr theory.
(a) F.S. = 1.54 (b) F.S. = 1.54.
