The objective of this chapter is to provide the target readers with different theories of failure for the effective design of mechanical parts. Depending on the mechanical properties of the raw materials and the applications of the mechanical parts or structure, this chapter also discusses the selection of a particular theory for design, such as maximum shear stress (MSS), distortion energy (DE), maximum normal stress (MNS), brittle Coulomb-Mohr (BCM), or modified Mohr (MM), along with examples and solved/unsolved problems. This chapter can be used as teaching material for machine design courses for mechanical, industrial engineering, and materials engineering majors in colleges and universities, and can also be used as a reference for scientific and technical personnel engaged in scientific and engineering calculations.
