In distortion energy theorem, if a unit cube is subjected to biaxial stress, then S(yt) is given by which of the following?
(a) √ (σ₁²- σ₁σ₂ +σ₂²)
(b) σ₁²- σ₁σ₂ +σ₂²
(c) √ (σ₁²+ σ₁σ₂ +σ₂²)
(d) σ₁²+ σ₁σ₂ +σ₂²
This question requires clarification and I found it by my college professor while I was bunking the class.
I encountered this question in the Couplings in part Shafts, Keys and Couplings of Machine Design
