What are the two types of deterministic failure methods and which type is applied to which type of material?

Solution

The two types of deterministic failure methods are

1) Maximum principal Stress failure

2) Maximum Shear stress failure

Maximum principal stress failure is applied mostly to brittle materials such as high carbon steels.

Maximum shear stress failure is applied majorly to ductile materials such as low carbin steels, aluminium alloys etc.
