An AISI 9255 Steel component is under load and is subjected to tensile, compressive and shear stress as shown in Figure 1 below. The material properties of AISI 9255 Steel is shown below. Determine: a) Determine the maximum and minimum principal stresses acting on the component b) Determine the maximum in-plane shear stress ( 7 marks) (6 marks) c) Has failure occurred based on Maximum Shear Stress Theory (MSST)? (6 marks) d) Has failure occurred based on based on Distortion Energy Theory (DET)? (6 marks)
