Module Problem 1-2 Solution
Consider the use of Maximum Shear Stress theory below. The position of the stress state is used to
estimate the factor of safety.
𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ
𝐹𝑆 = = Failure Point
𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠
1. Using the method above for the new stress state and strengths below, draw the failure envelope for
Distortion Energy theory and estimate the factor of safety. Be sure to label the axes and relevant
points.
𝜎𝑥 −30
𝜎𝑦 0
𝜎𝑧 15
𝜎= 𝜏 = 𝑘𝑠𝑖, 𝑆𝑦𝑐 = 𝑆𝑦𝑡 = 60 𝑘𝑠𝑖, 𝑆𝑢𝑡 = 𝑆𝑢𝑐 = 100 𝑘𝑠𝑖
𝑦𝑧 0
𝜏𝑥𝑧 0
[𝜏𝑥𝑦 ] [ 0 ]
