Question

Explain the maximum elastic strain theory.

Answer 1

Maximum Principal strain theory : This Theory assumes that failure occurs when the maximum strain for a complex state of stress system becomes equals to the strain at yield point in the tensile test for the three dimensional complex state of stress system

Answer 2

Maximum principal strain theory : This theory states that “ Yielding in a member subjected to complex/compound stress system commences when maximum principal strain of the system becomes equal to the strain corresponding to the yield point under simple tension test of the same material.”Feb 8, 2012
