Question: Repeat Prob. 51 by first plotting the failure loci in the A , B plane to scale; then, for each stress state, plot

Repeat Prob. 5–1 by first plotting the failure loci in the σA, σB plane to scale; then, for each stress state, plot the load line and by graphical measurement estimate the factors of safety.


A ductile hot-rolled steel bar has a minimum yield strength in tension and compression of 350 MPa. Using the distortion-energy and maximum-shear-stress theories determine the factors of safety for the following plane stress states:

(a) σx = 100 MPa, σy = 100 MPa

(b) σx = 100 MPa, σy = 50 MPa

(c) σx = 100 MPa, τxy = −75 MPa

(d) σx = -50 MPa, σy = -75 MPa, τxy = -50 MPa

(e) σx = 100 MPa, σy = 20 MPa, τxy = -20 MPa
