Since the potential energy of an object depends on the acceleration due to gravity and since the acceleration due to gravity decreases as altitude increases, we can conclude that the potential energy of an object decreases as altitude increases.
Tresca or maximum-shear stress criteria assumes that yielding occurs when the maximum shear stress reaches a value of the shear stress in the uniaxial tension test. Assume the principal stress being σ1, σ2, σ3 where σ1 is largest, and σ3 is the smallest principal stresses. Find the value of minimum shear stress to cause yielding, given that yield stress in tension is equal to σo?
