Question

It is appropriate to use the following yield or failure criterion for ductile materials (a) Maximum shear stress or Tresca criterion; b) Distortion energy or von Mises criterion; (c) Mohr-Coulomb criterion; (d) Any of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

(b)Distortion energy theory.

Explanation:

The best suitable theory for ductile material:

       (1)Maximum shear stress theory (Guest and Tresca theory)

It theory state that applied maximum shear stress should be less or equal to its maximum shear strength.

      (2)Maximum distortion energy theory(Von Mises henkey's        theory)

It states that maximum shear train energy per unit volume at any point  is equal to strain energy per unit volume under the state of uni axial stress condition.

But from these two Best theories ,suitable theory is distortion energy theory ,because it gives best suitable result for ductile material.
