  2. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    In materials science, material failure is the loss of load carrying capacity of a material unit. This definition introduces to the fact that material failure can be examined in different scales, from microscopic, to macroscopic. In structural problems, where the structural response may be beyond the initiation of nonlinear material behaviour ...

  3. 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.

  4. Goodman relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodman_relation

    Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material. [1]

  5. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The yield strength or yield stress is a material property and is the stress corresponding to the yield point at which the material begins to deform plastically. The yield strength is often used to determine the maximum allowable load in a mechanical component, since it represents the upper limit to forces that can be applied without producing ...

  6. Johnson's parabolic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson's_parabolic_formula

    Graph of Johnson's parabola (plotted in red) against Euler's formula, with the transition point indicated. The area above the curve indicates failure. The Johnson parabola creates a new region of failure. In structural engineering, Johnson's parabolic formula is an empirically based equation for calculating the critical buckling stress of a column.

  7. von Mises yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion

    This equation defines the yield surface as a circular cylinder (See Figure) whose yield curve, or intersection with the deviatoric plane, is a circle with radius , or . This implies that the yield condition is independent of hydrostatic stresses.

  8. Yield surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_surface

    A yield surface is a five-dimensional surface in the six ... and the parameters and are the yield (failure) stresses of the material in uniaxial ...

  9. Ultimate failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_failure

    In mechanical engineering, ultimate failure describes the breaking of a material. In general there are two types of failure: fracture and buckling. Fracture of a material occurs when either an internal or external crack elongates the width or length of the material. In ultimate failure this will result in one or more breaks in the material.
