  2. Rainflow-counting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainflow-counting_algorithm

    The method successively extracts the smaller interruption cycles from a sequence, which models the material memory effect seen with stress-strain hysteresis cycles. [1] This simplification allows the number of cycles until failure of a component to be determined for each rainflow cycle using either Miner's rule to calculate the fatigue damage ...

  3. Statistical interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_interference

    For example, the applied load (stress) on a mechanical part may vary. The measured strength of that part (tensile strength, etc.) may also be variable. The part will break when the stress exceeds the strength. [1] [2] With two normal distributions, the statistical interference may be calculated as above.

  4. Inverse magnetostrictive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Inverse_magnetostrictive_effect

    where is the magnetostrictive expansion at saturation, and is the angle between the saturation magnetization and the stress's direction. When λ s {\displaystyle \lambda _{s}} and σ {\displaystyle \sigma } are both positive (like in iron under tension), the energy is minimum for θ {\displaystyle \theta } = 0, i.e. when tension is aligned with ...

  5. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    This type of stress may be called (simple) normal stress or uniaxial stress; specifically, (uniaxial, simple, etc.) tensile stress. [13] If the load is compression on the bar, rather than stretching it, the analysis is the same except that the force F and the stress σ {\displaystyle \sigma } change sign, and the stress is called compressive ...

  6. Effective stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_stress

    Erg Chebbi, Morocco. The effective stress can be defined as the stress, depending on the applied tension and pore pressure , which controls the strain or strength behaviour of soil and rock (or a generic porous body) for whatever pore pressure value or, in other terms, the stress which applied over a dry porous body (i.e. at =) provides the same strain or strength behaviour which is observed ...

  7. Critical state soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_state_soil_mechanics

    The difference between the Cam Clay and the Modified Cam Clay [4] (MCC) is that the yield surface of the MCC is described by an ellipse and therefore the plastic strain increment vector (which is perpendicular to the yield surface) for the largest value of the mean effective stress is horizontal, and hence no incremental deviatoric plastic ...

  8. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The Hertzian contact stress usually refers to the stress close to the area of contact between two spheres of different radii. It was not until nearly one hundred years later that Kenneth L. Johnson , Kevin Kendall , and Alan D. Roberts found a similar solution for the case of adhesive contact. [ 5 ]

  9. Flow stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_stress

    Other models may also include the effects of strain gradients. [3] Independent of test conditions, the flow stress is also affected by: chemical composition, purity, crystal structure, phase constitution, microstructure, grain size, and prior strain. [4] The flow stress is an important parameter in the fatigue failure of ductile materials.
