Hello,

 

Can anybody explain what is the difference between these 2 stress components ; Tresca and MaxShear? I assume that both come from the Maximum Shear Stress theory (Failure theories) so I do not understand the difference between both of them, in which situation they are to be used, etc. 

 

Thank you. 

 

BR, 

Hanif

    Hi @hanifmansor95

     

    From failure theories Max Shear Stress theory is also called as Tresca failure. But here is the difference in solver perspective.

    Hello again @Prakash Pagadala,

     

    May I ask where do you get the information? Is it from the Hyperworks Help? I've tried searching in the Help, but I found nothing. 

     

    So do you mind sharing with us the source? 

     

    Thank you.

     

    BR,
