  2. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    Thus, the maximum shear stress will occur either in the web of maximum shear flow or minimum thickness. Constructions in soil can also fail due to shear; e.g. , the weight of an earth-filled dam or dike may cause the subsoil to collapse, like a small landslide .

  3. Shear strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength

    This is only the average stress, actual stress distribution is not uniform. In real world applications, this equation only gives an approximation and the maximum shear stress would be higher. Stress is not often equally distributed across a part so the shear strength would need to be higher to account for the estimate. [2]

  4. Cauchy stress tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_stress_tensor

    The maximum shear stress or maximum principal shear stress is equal to one-half the difference between the largest and smallest principal stresses, and acts on the plane that bisects the angle between the directions of the largest and smallest principal stresses, i.e. the plane of the maximum shear stress is oriented from the principal stress ...

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The maximum shear stress theory is conservative. For simple unidirectional normal stresses all theories are equivalent, which means all theories will give the same result. Maximum shear stress theory postulates that failure will occur if the magnitude of the maximum shear stress in the part exceeds the shear strength of the material determined ...

  6. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The circle shown in the figure indicates a surface on which the maximum shear stress is constant. From this stress field, the strain components and thus the displacements of all material points may be determined.

  7. 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.

  8. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    In normal and shear stress, the magnitude of the stress is maximum for surfaces that are perpendicular to a certain direction , and zero across any surfaces that are parallel to . When the shear stress is zero only across surfaces that are perpendicular to one particular direction, the stress is called biaxial , and can be viewed as the sum of ...

  9. Yield surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_surface

    In such situations, if the shear stress reaches the yield limit then the material enters the plastic domain. Figure 2 shows the Tresca–Guest yield surface in two-dimensional stress space, it is a cross section of the prism along the σ 1 , σ 2 {\displaystyle \sigma _{1},\sigma _{2}} plane.
