Strength Of Materials

  1. The principal stresses at a point in a critical - section of a machine component are σ1 = 60 MPa, σ2 = 5 MPa and σ3 = – 40 MPa. For the material of the component, the tensile yield strength is σy = 200 MPa. According to the maximum shear stress theory, the factor of safety is
