Question
Bars of square and circular cross-section with 0.5 m length are made of a material with shear strength of 20 MPa. The square bar cross-section dimension is 4 cm x 4 cm and the cylindrical bar cross-section diameter is 4 cm. The specimens are loaded as shown in the figure.
Which specimen(s) will fail due to the applied load as per maximum shear stress theory?
Options :
Torsional load specimen
Bending load specimen
None of the specimens
Tensile and compressive load specimens
