• Condition for failure, Maximum shear stress induced at a critical point under triaxial
2. Maximum Shear Stress theory or GUEST combined stress > Yield strength in shear under tensile test.
AND TRESCA’S THEORY • Maximum shear stress induced at a critical tensile point under triaxial combined stress ≤
Permissible shear stress.
3. Maximum Principal Strain theory also known as • Condition for failure,Maximum Principal strain > Yielding strain under tensile test.
St.VENANT’S THEORY • Maximum Principal strain ≤ Permissible strain.
• Condition for failure, Total Strain Energy per unit volume Strain energy per unit volume at
yield point under tension test.
4. Total Strain Energy theory or HAIGH’S THEORY
• Total Strain Energy per unit volume ≤Strain energy per unit volume at yield point under
tension test.
