Failure Theories
Distortion-Energy Hypothesis (DE)
The failure of a statically loaded member in uni a tension or compression is relatively easy to predict. One can simply compare the stress incurred with the strength of the material. However, when - xial the loading conditions are less simple (i.e. biaxial loading, sheer stresses) then we must use some method to compare multiple stresses to a single strength value. Below are four common criteria for predicting failure and determining factors of safety as well as lists of some common materials for which each would be preferred. The distortion eergy hypothesis predicts that failure will - n occur in a member when the distortion energy per unit volume of the member equals the distortion energy in the member when it is uni a - xially stressed to its yield stress. Failure when:
Modified II-Mohr
This failure criteria is a modification of the Mohr Hypothesis that best accounts for the experimentally produced data from fracture tests of brittle materials (i.e. strain to failure < 0.05). It is applicable when the |SUC| > SUT and B is less than- ST. U
