  2. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    Maximum distortion energy theory (von Mises yield criterion) also referred to as octahedral shear stress theory. [4] – This theory proposes that the total strain energy can be separated into two components: the volumetric (hydrostatic) strain energy and the shape (distortion or shear) strain energy. It is proposed that yield occurs when the ...

  3. Infinitesimal strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal_strain_theory

    In continuum mechanics, the infinitesimal strain theory is a mathematical approach to the description of the deformation of a solid body in which the displacements of the material particles are assumed to be much smaller (indeed, infinitesimally smaller) than any relevant dimension of the body; so that its geometry and the constitutive properties of the material (such as density and stiffness ...

  4. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    Mohr's circles for a three-dimensional state of stress. Mohr's circle is a two-dimensional graphical representation of the transformation law for the Cauchy stress tensor. Mohr's circle is often used in calculations relating to mechanical engineering for materials' strength, geotechnical engineering for strength of soils, and structural ...

  5. von Mises yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion

    t. e. In continuum mechanics, the maximum distortion energy criterion (also von Mises yield criterion[1]) states that yielding of a ductile material begins when the second invariant of deviatoric stress reaches a critical value. [2] It is a part of plasticity theory that mostly applies to ductile materials, such as some metals.

  6. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that describes forces present during deformation. For example, an object being pulled apart, such as a stretched elastic band, is subject to tensile stress and may undergo elongation. An object being pushed together, such as a crumpled sponge, is subject to compressive stress and may undergo ...

  7. Finite strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_strain_theory

    Continuum mechanics. In continuum mechanics, the finite strain theory —also called large strain theory, or large deformation theory —deals with deformations in which strains and/or rotations are large enough to invalidate assumptions inherent in infinitesimal strain theory. In this case, the undeformed and deformed configurations of the ...

  8. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    There are four failure theories: maximum shear stress theory, maximum normal stress theory, maximum strain energy theory, and maximum distortion energy theory (Von Mises Criterion of Failre). Out of these four theories of failure, the maximum normal stress theory is only applicable for brittle materials, and the remaining three theories are ...

  9. Critical plane analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_plane_analysis

    The chief advantage of critical plane analysis over earlier approaches like Sines rule, or like correlation against maximum principal stress or strain energy density, is the ability to account for damage on specific material planes. This means that cases involving multiple out-of-phase load inputs, or crack closure can be treated with high ...
