MaxShear vs Tresca

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.
