Yielding criteria
At combined stresses one have to evaluate equivavlent stresses to
be compared with the materials yield stress (which is a stress in one
direction)
There are several yielding criterias:
Theory of maximum principal stress
Theory of maximum longitudinal deformation
Theory of maximum shear stress (Tresca)
Theory of maximum distortion energy (von Mises)
The yielding criterias works good in some cases and not in other.
Nowadays the von Mises hypothesis is frequently used.

Maximum Normal (Principal) Stress Theory
Theory: Yielding begins when the maximum principal stress in a stress
element exceeds the yield strength.
For any stress element, use Mohrs circle to find the principal stresses.
Compare the largest principal stress to the yield strength.

Maximum Longitudinal Deformation Theory
Theory: Yielding determined by the maximum longitudinal strain.
According to Hookes law for isotropic materials, the material remain in
elastic phase as long s the following conditions are satisfied:
In the plane stress state yielding and not or the higher value
In compression the theory leads to yielding at , but
experiments that much higher values of the pressure may be applied
without plastic deformation.

Maximum Shear Stress Theory (MSS) Tresca yielding criteria
Theory: Yielding begins when the maximum shear stress in a stress element
exceeds the maximum shear stress in a tension test specimen of the same
material when that specimen begins to yield.
For a tension test specimen, the maximum shear stress is s

Originated from observation that ductile materials stressed hydrostatically (equal
principal stresses) exhibited yield strengths greatly in excess of expected values.
Theorizes that if strain energy is divided into hydrostatic volume changing energy and
angular distortion energy, the yielding is primarily affected by the distortion energy
