• Distortion energy theory (von Mises-Hencky)
t
h
(Sy)h >> (Sy)t
Distortion contributes to h
failure much more than
change in volume.

t
(total strain energy) – (strain energy due to hydrostatic stress) = strain energy
due to angular distortion > strain energy obtained from a tension test at the
yield point → failure
