The Maximum Shear Stress Theory underpins the maximum shear stress criterion, also known as the Tresca yield criterion.
According to this theory, a material will fail when the absolute maximum shear stress (tau max) reaches the stress that causes the material to yield in a simple tension test. For ductile materials, the Maximum shear stress criterion is used.
What is simple tension test?
A sample is typically pulled to its breaking point in a simple tensile test to determine the ultimate tensile strength of the material. Throughout the test, the amount of force (F) applied to the sample and its elongation (L) are measured. Stress (force per unit area), and strain (percent change in length, ) are two terms that are frequently used to describe material properties.
