The value of constant k in Tresca’s yielding criteria in case of pure shear will be equal to ___________ Given that Principle stress being σ1, σ2, σ3 and yield stress in tension and pure shear are equal to σo and τ.

The value of constant k in Tresca’s yielding criteria in case of pure shear will be equal to ___________ Given that Principle stress being σ1, σ2, σ3 and yield stress in tension and pure shear are equal to σo and τ. Correct Answer k = σo/2

For the state of pure shear σ1= -σ2=τo, and σ3=0. The maximum shear stress will (σ1– σ2)/2 = τo This τo should be equal to maximum shear in pure tension. τo = σo/2=k.
