Explanation:

Maximum Shear Stress Theory: 

  • Applied satisfactorily to ductile materials.
  • This theory states that the failure can be assumed to occur when the maximum shear stress in the complex stress system is equal to the value of maximum shear stress in simple tension.
  • The relation between the theories of failure, their suitable materials, and graphical representation is given below.
