The end-of-chapter problems are famous for their "layer-cake" difficulty. For example, Chapter 4 (Yield Criteria) will ask you to derive the relationship between flow stress and the von Mises or Tresca criterion for a thin-walled tube under combined tension and torsion. A standard solution incorrectly leaps from A to Z. A better solution walks you through the stress transformation, principal stress calculations, and the substitution into the yield function.
Predicting exactly how and when a structural component will fail over time. principal stress calculations
