  2. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

    The yield calculation will determine the safety factor until the part starts to deform plastically. The ultimate calculation will determine the safety factor until failure. In brittle materials the yield and ultimate strengths are often so close as to be indistinguishable, so it is usually acceptable to only calculate the ultimate safety factor.

  3. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    Material failure theory is an interdisciplinary field of materials science and solid mechanics which attempts to predict the conditions under which solid materials fail under the action of external loads. The failure of a material is usually classified into brittle failure or ductile failure .

  4. Forming limit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forming_limit_diagram

    A forming limit diagram, also known as a forming limit curve, is used in sheet metal forming for predicting forming behavior of sheet metal. [1] [2] The diagram attempts to provide a graphical description of material failure tests, such as a punched dome test. In order to determine whether a given region has failed, a mechanical test is performed.

    The second topic of interest was, "How does a motorist yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk with two lanes of traffic in the same direction in a way that is safe for both the pedestrian and driver?"

  6. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering)

    In materials science and engineering, the yield point is the point on a stress–strain curve that indicates the limit of elastic behavior and the beginning of plastic behavior. Below the yield point, a material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed.

  7. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength is a limit state of tensile stress that leads to tensile failure in the manner of ductile failure (yield as the first stage of that failure, some hardening in the second stage and breakage after a possible "neck" formation) or brittle failure (sudden breaking in two or more pieces at a low-stress ...

    The yield curve inverts when a longer term rate is lower than a shorter term rate (e.g., when the yield on the 10-year note is lower than yield on the 2-year note).
