Stress Tensor- stress state at a point
The stress tensor components
(the elements of the matrix)
depend on the coordinate
system chosen
Principal Stresses
By a special rotation of the coordinate system, it is possible to reduce a
general stress tensor to one with only the three normal components.

Theory)
2. Maximum Principal Stress Theory (Rankine’s
Theory)
3. Maximum Distortion Energy Theory (von Mises -
Hencky Theory)
4. Maximum Strain Theory (St. Venant’s Theory)

1. Maximum Shear Stress Theory
(Tresca- Guest’s Theory)
MSST states that, failure occurs when maximum
shear stress in a part exceeds the shear stress
in a tensile specimen at yield (one half of the
tensile Yield Strength)

3. Maximum Distortion Energy Theory
(von Mises - Hencky Theory)
According to this theory the failure or yielding occurs at a
point when the distortion strain energy per unit volume in
a stress system reaches the limiting distortion strain energy
per unit volume (ie. at yield point) as determined from a
simple tension test.

4. Maximum Strain Theory (St. Venant’s
Theory)
According to this theory, The failure of a component
occurs when the maximum strain under actual loading
exceeds the maximum strain in tension bar subjected to
yield point stress
Maximum value of the
principal strains is considered
