You may say “Parts fail because their stresses exceed their strength”
Then what kind of stresses cause the failure: Tensile? Compressive?
Shear?
Answer may be: It depends.
It depends on the material and its relative strength in compressive,
tension, and shear.
It also depends on the type loading (Static, Fatigue, Impact) and
presence of the cracks in the material
The failure may be elastic or fracture
Elastic failure results in excessive deformation, which makes the machine
component unfit to perform its function satisfactorily
Fracture results in breaking the component into two parts
Generally machine parts are subjected to combined loading and to find material
properties under real loading condition is practically not economical
Thus, material properties are obtained from simple tension/torsion test

This theory states that a material subjected to any combination of loads will fail (by
yielding or fracturing) whenever the maximum shear stress exceeds the shear
strength (yield or ultimate) of the material. The shear strength, in turn, is usually
assumed to be determined from the standard uniaxial tension test.

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design
Intersect the pure shear load line with the failure line to determine
the shear strength
Since failure line is a function of tensile and compressive strengths,
shear strength is also a function of these terms.

For brittle
Mohr theory is best, but difficult to use
Brittle Coulomb-Mohr is very conservative in 4th quadrant
Modified Mohr is still slightly conservative in 4th quadrant, but closer to
typical
