One theory that is used for the prediction of failure in a ductile material is the maximum shear stress theory (MSS). The basis of this theory is that failure will occur when the maximum shear stress ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

Finally we look at how we can apply the shear stress equation to thin-walled open sections like the I beam, and how shear stress appears to "flow" through the cross-section. Greenland Voters ...
