Theories of failure
Introduction
Theories of failure are those theories which help us to determine the safe dimensions of
a machine component when it is subjected to combined stresses due to various loads
acting on it during its functionality.
Some examples of such components are as follows:
1. I.C. engine crankshaft
2. Shaft used in power transmission
3. Spindle of a screw jaw
4. Bolted and welded joints used under eccentric loading
5. Ceiling fan rod
Theories of failure are employed in the design of a machine component due to the
unavailability of failure stresses under combined loading conditions.
Theories of failure play a key role in establishing the relationship between stresses
induced under combined loading conditions and properties obtained from tension test
like ultimate tensile strength (Sut) and yield strength (Syt).
Examples:
1.
d
Syt = 200 MPa
Sut = 300 MPa
Directly we can get (d) without using any failure
theory because only uniaxial load (P)
𝜎1 ≤ Syt
4P πd2 ≤ Syt
P

Various Theories of Failure
1. Maximum Principal Stress theory also known as RANKINE’S THEORY
2. Maximum Shear Stress theory or GUEST AND TRESCA’S THEORY
3. Maximum Principal Strain theory also known as St. VENANT’S THEORY
4. Total Strain Energy theory or HAIGH’S THEORY
5. Maximum Distortion Energy theory or VONMISES AND HENCKY’S THEORY
1. Maximum Principal Stress theory (M.P.S.T)
According to M.P.S. T
P
So, different scientists give relationships between
Stresses induced under combined loading conditions and (Syt and Sut) obtained using
tension test which are called theories of failure.
T
d
Member is subjected to both Twisting moment and
uniaxial load, hence combined loading conditions.
We cannot determine (d) directly in this case
because failure stresses under combined loading
conditions are unknown.
Condition for failure is,
Maximum principal stress ( 1) failure stresses (Syt or Sut )
and Factor of safety (F.O.S) = 1
If 1 is +ve then Syt or Sut
1 is –ve then Syc or Suc
Condition for safe design,
Factor of safety (F.O.S) > 1
Maximum principal stress ( 1) ≤ Permissible stress ( per)
where permissible stress =
Failure stress =

Sut

Note:
1.This theory is suitable for the safe design of machine components made of brittle
materials under all loading conditions (tri-axial, biaxial etc.) because brittle materials are
weak in tension.
2.This theory is not suitable for the safe design of machine components made of ductile
materials because ductile materials are weak in shear.
3.This theory can be suitable for the safe design of machine components made of ductile
materials under following state of stress conditions.

1 (i) Uniaxial state of stress (Absolute max = )

1 (ii) Biaxial state of stress when principal stresses are like in nature (Absolute max = )
(iii) Under hydrostatic stress condition (shear stress in all the planes is zero).
2. Maximum Shear Stress theory (M.S.S.T)
Condition for failure,
Maximum shear stress induced at a critical
point under triaxial combined stress
Yield strength in shear under tensile
test
Absolute max (Sys)T.T or Syt

unknown therefore use Syt
Condition for safe design,
≤ Permissible shear stress (τper) Maximum shear stress induced at a critical
tensile point under triaxial combined stress
where,
Permissible shear stress = Yield strength in shear under tension test
Factor of safety = (Sys)T.T
N = Syt

For tri-axial state of stress,

2N
| σ1| ≤ Syt
N when σ1, σ2 are like in nature Eqn (2)
|σ1 – σ2| ≤ Syt
N when σ1, σ2 are unlike in nature Eqn (3)
Note:
1.M.S.S.T and M.P.S.T will give same results for ductile materials under uniaxial state of
stress and biaxial state of stress when principal stresses are like in nature.
2. M.S.S.T is not suitable under hydrostatic stress condition.
3.This theory is suitable for ductile materials and gives oversafe design i.e. safe and
uneconomic design.
3. Maximum Principal Strain theory (M.P.St.T)

Maximum Distortion Energy/volume Distortion energy/volume at yield point
(M.D.E/vol) under tension test (D.E/vol) Y.P.] T.T
Condition for safe design,
Maximum Distortion Energy/volume ≤ Distortion energy/volume at yield point
under tension test (11)
T.S.E/vol = Volumetric S.E/vol + D.E/vol
D.E/vol = T.S.E/vol - Volumetric S.E /vol (12)
D.E/vol = 0 Under hydrostatic stress condition,
and
Under pure shear stress condition, Volumetric S.E/vol = 0
From equation (8)
2E T.S.E/vol = 1 [σ12 + σ22 + σ32 - 2µ (σ1 σ2 + σ2 σ3 +σ3 σ1)]
1 Volumetric S.E/vol = 2 (Average stress) (Volumetric strain)
1 = 2 (
σ1 + σ2 + σ3
3 ) [(
1-2µ E ) (σ1 + σ2 + σ3) ]
Vol S.E/vol = 1-2µ
(σ1 + σ2 + σ3)2 (13) 6E
From equation (12) and (13)
D.E/vol = 1+µ
[(σ1 - σ2)2 + (σ2 - σ3)2 + (σ3 - σ1)2] (14) 6E
To get [(D.E/vol) Y.P.] T.T ,
N Substitute σ1 = σ = Syt
