  1. The uniaxial yield stress of a material is 300 MPa. According to Von Mises criterion, the shear yield stress (in MPa) of the material is _______.
    1. 173.28
    2. 172.28
    3. 171.28
    4. 169.28
Correct Option: A

If there is uniaxial loading yield stress is σy
As per Von Mises failure theory
σ²y = σ²1 + σ1σ2 + σ²2
Under pure shear stress loading
σ1 = – σ2 = τ
then σ²y = τ² + τ² + τ² = 3τ²

⇒ τ =
σy
3

Hence τ =
σy
= 0.5577σy = 173.28
3

Where τ is shear yield stress
