Design
Failure resulting from
Static loading
Dr. Faraz Junejo
Introduction
Why do mechanical components fail?
Machine parts fail when the stresses induced
by external forces exceed their strength.
The external loads cause internal stresses in
the elements and the component size
depends on the stresses developed.
What kind of stresses cause failure?
Under any load combination, there is always
a combination of normal and shearing
stresses in the material.
What is the definition of
Failure?
Obviously fracture but in
some components yielding
can also be considered as
failure, if yielding distorts
the material in such a way
that it no longer functions
properly
• Which stress causes
the material to fail?
Usually ductile materials are limited by their shear
strengths. While brittle materials (ductility < 5%) are
limited by their tensile strengths.
Strength
We know that that strength is a property or
characteristic of a mechanical element.
It is the ability of a material to resist the
externally applied forces without breaking or
yielding.
Stress Ratio, R =
1.0

Objective
In this part of the course, we consider the
relations between strength and static
loading in order to make the decisions
concerning material and its treatment,
fabrication, and geometry for satisfying
the requirements of functionality, safety,
reliability, competitiveness, usability,
manufacturability, and marketability.
What is Failure
Failure can mean a part has
separated into two or more pieces;
has become permanently distorted,
thus ruining its geometry; has had its
reliability downgraded; or has had its
function compromised, whatever the
reason.

Stress on an Oblique
Plane
• Pass a section through the member
forming an angle with the normal
plane.
F P cos V P sin
• The force F represents the resultant of
normal forces over the section, and
the force V represents the resultant of
shearing forces (Fig: d)
Stress on an Oblique
Plane
• The average values of corresponding normal and
shear stresses on the oblique plane are obtained
by dividing, respectively, F and V by the area AӨ
of the oblique section.

Maximum‐Shear‐Stress Theory
(contd.)
Since, for a general state of stress, the principal
stresses are ordered such that σ1 ≥ σ2 ≥ σ3 and
thus the maximum shear stress is: max = σ1 – σ3
/2.
Eq: 5.1
• Case 3: 0 ≥A ≥ B
– For this case, 1 = and 3 = B
– Eq. (5–1) reduces to yield condition of B ≤ −Sy

Distortion-Energy Theory
(contd.)
As shown earlier, the strain energy per
unit volume for simple tension is U =
(½) ε
Equation (5–13) is a
rotated ellipse in the σA, σB
plane, as shown in Fig. 5–9
with σ’ = Sy . The dotted
lines in the figure represent
the MSS theory, which can
be seen to be more
restrictive, hence, more
conservative i.e. useful for
design situations where
higher reliability is desired
Distortion Energy Theory With Von
Mises Stress
Von Mises Stress can be thought of as a single,
equivalent, or effective stress for the entire
general state of stress in a stress element.
Distortion Energy failure theory simply compares
von Mises stress to yield strength.

Failure Theories for Brittle
Materials
Brittle materials are classified such that
(%Elogation < 5%) and they usually do not
have identifiable yield strength.
Thus, they are usually classified by the
ultimate tensile ( Sut) and ultimate
compressive (Suc ) strengths, which are used
to define failure.
It is typical for brittle materials to have the
compressive strength larger than the
tensile strength.
Maximum Normal Stress
(MNS) Theory
The MNS theory predicts that failure will occur
when any of the three principal stresses
equals or exceeds the ultimate strength
obtained from tensile or compressive test.
It is typical for
brittle materials
to have the
compressive
strength larger
than the tensile
strength
Mohr’s Failure Criterion
Use for brittle materials where the
tension and compression properties
are different.
Three tests need to be performed on
material
• Carry to determine
out a uniaxial the criterion.
tensile test to determine the
ultimate tensile stress (ult)t
• Carry out a uniaxial compressive test to determine the
ultimate compressive stress (ult)c
• Carry out a torsion test to determine the ultimate shear
stress ult.
• Results are plotted in Mohr circles
Mohr’s Failure Criterion
(contd.)
Circle A represents the stress condition 1 =
2 = 0, 3 = –(ult)c
• Coulomb-Mohr is
conservative in 4th
quadrant
• However, it can be seen that experimental data are still outside this
extended region.
•The straight line introduced by the modified Mohr theory, for σA ≥ 0 ≥ σB
and |σB/σA| > 1, can be replaced by a parabolic relation

• Failure occurs when
Example: 1
• If the 2-in. diameter shaft is made from
brittle material having an ultimate
strength of for both tension and
compression, σult = 50 ksi. Determine if
the shaft fails according to the maximum-
normal-stress theory. Use a factor of
safety of 1.5 against rupture.

Remember, it is A
≥ ≥ B
Theories of Failure:
Summary
If material is ductile, failure is specified by the
initiation of yielding, whereas if it is brittle, it is
specified by fracture.
Ductile failure can be defined when slipping
occurs between the crystals that compose the
material.
This slipping is due to shear stress and the
maximum-shear-stress theory is based on this
idea.
Strain energy is stored in a material when
subjected to normal stress.
Theories of Failure: Summary
(contd.)
The maximum-distortion-energy theory
depends on the strain energy that distorts the
material, and not the part that increases its
volume.
The fracture of a brittle material is caused by
the maximum tensile stress in the material,
and not the compressive stress.
This is the basis of the maximum-normal-stress
theory, and it is applicable if the stress-strain
diagram is similar in tension and compression.
Theories of Failure: Summary
(contd.)
If a brittle material has a stress-strain
diagram that is different in tension and
compression, then Mohr’s failure criterion
may be used to predict failure.
Provided the principal stresses for a
material are known, then a theory of
failure can be used as a basis for design.
