It will be at angle 45.

As cast iron is brittle material, it will fail by max normal stress, Mohr's circle for for pure compression shows that principle plane on which max normal stress is acting making zero angle i.e. plane should be at right angle to axis of force, I think answer should be 'C'.

The angle made by resultant stress with the normal stress is called angle of obliquity.

Which is inclined at an angle to the horizontal plane?

What is oblique plane?

Nikhil said:   1 decade ago
In Brittle material, during compression shear failure occurs at 45 degrees to axis.

Sachin said:   1 decade ago
As brittle material always fail along a plane neither along or at right angle to the axis of specimen.
