Failure occurs when material starts exhibiting inelastic behavior Brittle and ductile materials – different modes of failures – mode of failure – depends on loading Ductile materials – exhibit yielding – plastic deformation before failure Yield stress – material property Brittle materials – no yielding – sudden failure Factor of safety (FS)

Well – defined yield point in ductile materials – FS on yielding No yield point in brittle materials sudden failure – FS on failure load 4

Stress developed in the material < yield stress Simple axial load
σx σx

If σx = σY => yielding starts – failure Yielding is governed by single stress component, σx Similarly in pure shear – only shear stress. If τmax = τY => Yielding in shear Multi-axial stress state ??
