Theories of Failure
CHAPTER OBJECTIVE
The basic objectives of this chapter is to familiarize the students with various theories of failure for the efficient design of engineering components. Depending on the mechanical properties of raw materials and the applications of the engineering component or structure, selection of a particular theory for design is also discussed and students can use a particular theory of failure for designing their engineering components. Various theories are supplemented by practical examples to understand the concepts better.
Introduction
There are various theories of failure depending on the types of stresses or types of strain energies alongwith the mechanical properties of the material used to design a ...
