THEORIES OF FAILURE
• When an engineer is faced with the problem of design using
a specific material it becomes important to place an upper
a specific material, it becomes important to place an upper
limit on the state of stress that defines the material’s failure.
• If the material is ductile, failure is usually specified by the
initiation of yielding, whereas if the material is brittle, it is
specified by fracture.
• These modes of failure are readily defined if the member is
These modes of failure are readily defined if the member is
subjected to a uniaxial state of stress, as in the case of simple
tension; however, if the member is subjected to biaxial or

triaxial stress, the criterion for failure becomes more difficult
to establish.

When using a particular theory of failure, it is first necessary
to calculate the normal and shear stress at points where they
are the largest in the member.
• Once this state of stress is established, the principal stresses
at these critical points are then determined since each of
at these critical points are then determined, since each of
the following theories is based on knowing the principal

equivalent stage to that of yielding in a simple tensile test.
• Should not be applied if the component may fail in service in
a way which cannot easily be related to standard simple
loading tests such as fatigue, creep, buckling and impact.
• If elastic failure can be assumed to be relevant it is necessary
to consider which of the theories is the most appropriate.
