engineering recuitment UPPSC AE Mock Test 2024 Strength of Materials Theory of Failure Maximum Shear Stress Theory
The maximum shear stress theory states that the yielding of the material begins under the following relationship between maximum shear stress (τmax) and yield stress (σy)
1
τmax = σy
2
τmax = 2σy
3
\(\tau_{max}=\sqrt2\sigma_y\)
4
\(\tau_{max}={\sigma_y\over 2}\)
