Failure Theories

Failure Theories is a foundational concept in Machine Design that belongs to the category of mechanical behavior analysis methods, specifically comprising analytical criteria used to predict the onset of material failure under complex stress states by distinguishing safe from unsafe combinations of applied stresses.
