    There are five different theories of failures which are generally used
    (1) Maximum Principal stress theory ( due to Rankine )
    (2) Maximum shear stress theory ( Guest - Tresca )
    (3) Maximum Principal strain ( Saint - venant ) Theory
    (4) Total strain energy per unit volume ( Haigh ) Theory
    (5) Shear strain energy per unit volume Theory ( Von – Mises )
