  2. K-factor (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-factor_(metallurgy)

    The K-factor is the bending capacity of sheet metal, and by extension the forumulae used to calculate this. [1] [2] [3] Mathematically it is an engineering aspect of geometry. [4] Such is its intricacy in precision sheet metal bending [5] (with press brakes in particular) that its proper application in engineering has been termed an art. [4] [5]

  3. Stress intensity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_intensity_factor

    In fracture mechanics, the stress intensity factor (K) is used to predict the stress state ("stress intensity") near the tip of a crack or notch caused by a remote load or residual stresses. [1] It is a theoretical construct usually applied to a homogeneous, linear elastic material and is useful for providing a failure criterion for brittle ...

  4. Structure factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_factor

    In condensed matter physics and crystallography, the static structure factor (or structure factor for short) is a mathematical description of how a material scatters incident radiation. The structure factor is a critical tool in the interpretation of scattering patterns ( interference patterns ) obtained in X-ray , electron and neutron ...

    where E is the Young's modulus, ν is Poisson's ratio, and K I is the stress intensity factor in mode I. Irwin also showed that the strain energy release rate of a planar crack in a linear elastic body can be expressed in terms of the mode I, mode II (sliding mode), and mode III (tearing mode) stress intensity factors for the most general ...

  6. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    The critical value of stress intensity factor in mode I loading measured under plane strain conditions is known as the plane strain fracture toughness, denoted . [1] When a test fails to meet the thickness and other test requirements that are in place to ensure plane strain conditions, the fracture toughness value produced is given the ...

    K-factor (Elo rating system), a constant used in Elo rating system; K-factor (marketing), the growth rate of websites, apps, or a customer base; K-factor (sheet metal), the ratio of location of the neutral line to the material thickness; The K Factor, a fictional TV show within Harry Hill's TV Burp; Bondi k-factor, the "k" in Bondi k-calculus

  8. Stress concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_concentration

    Note that the dimensionless stress concentration factor is a function of the geometry shape and independent of its size. [4] These factors can be found in typical engineering reference materials. Stress concentration around an elliptical hole in a plate in tension. E. Kirsch derived the equations for the elastic stress distribution around a hole.
