Problem The following stress state and strengths are given.


𝜎𝑥 −20
𝜎𝑦 0
𝜎𝑧 30
𝜎= 𝜏 = 𝑘𝑠𝑖, 𝑆𝑦𝑐 = 𝑆𝑦𝑡 = 60 𝑘𝑠𝑖, 𝑆𝑢𝑡 = 𝑆𝑢𝑐 = 100 𝑘𝑠𝑖
𝑦𝑧 0
𝜏𝑥𝑧 0

Consider the use of Maximum Shear Stress theory below. The position of the stress state is used to
estimate the factor of safety.

Principal Stresses are given:


𝜎1 = 30 𝑘𝑠𝑖
𝜎2 = 0 𝑘𝑠𝑖

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.
