THEORIES OF FAILURE                For the ones who are searching for the topic of failures in life, love or game etc, I suggest they can search for some other sites. This topic is related to prediction of failure in machine members subjected to uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial stress. As we all know, the strength of all machine parts is based on the mechanical properties of materials used. These properties are determined by the tension and compression tests, which can predict failure in parts subjected to uniaxial stress.               Ductile materials have yield strength which is common in compression and tension tests whereas brittle materials have similar ultimate tensile and compressive strengths.               Machine parts are subjected to biaxial and triaxial stresses a...
