THEORIES OF ELASTIC FAILURE

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

(MCQ) WITH ANSWERS 

MCQ help to understand the topic in great depth.

Then, it will be easy to apply these theories in the

design of various machine parts. Ductile materials

are equally strong in tension and compression. Thus

these are more versatile. Brittle materials are strong

in compression and weak in tension. Maximum

number of failure in real life is due to tensile failure.
