According to principal stress theory, which option represents the correct relation between yield strength in shear (YSS) and the yield strength in tension (YST)?
(a) YSS=0.5YST
(b) YSS=0.577YST
(c) YST=0.5YSS
(d) YST=0.577YSS
I am struggling with this question from during a campus interview.
This problem appears in the Modes of Failure & Stresses unit in lesson Design Against Static Load of Machine Design
