Maximum Normal Stress Theory of Failure: Module 2-1

The document is a spreadsheet that calculates failure of a material using maximum normal stress theory. It takes in principal normal stress values and yield point values, then checks if each principal stress is between the compression and tension yield points divided by the factor of safety. It determines that the first two stresses are safe but the third stress fails this criterion.

instructions on how to Input the principal normal stresses and their units:
use this spreadsheet.
S1 = 20,000 psi
S2 = -20,000 psi

about this spreadsheet.
Input the Yield point values and the Factor of Safety:
Sypc = -60,000 psi (Compression Yield Point)
Sypt = 60,000 psi (Tension Yield Point)
Nfs = 2.50 (Factor of Safety)

Check each of the three equations of the failure theory:

S ypc S ypt
S 1
N fs N fs
-24,000 < 20,000 < 24,000 Safe

S ypc S
S 2 ypt
N fs N fs
-24,000 < -20,000 < 24,000 Safe

S ypc S ypt
S 3
N fs N fs
-24000 < 30,000 < 24000 Fails
