  2. von Mises yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion

    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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Richard von Mises - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Mises

    He developed the distortion energy theory of stress, an important factor in material strength calculations. His ideas were not universally well received, although Alexander Ostrowski had said of him: "Only with the appointment of Richard von Mises to the University of Berlin did the first serious German school of applied mathematics with a ...

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Maximum distortion energy theory, also known as maximum distortion energy theory of failure or von Mises–Hencky theory. This theory postulates that failure will occur when the distortion energy per unit volume due to the applied stresses in a part equals the distortion energy per unit volume at the yield point in uniaxial testing.

  6. Activation strain model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_strain_model

    The activation strain model was originally proposed and has been extensively developed by Bickelhaupt and coworkers. [4] This model breaks the potential energy curve as a function of reaction coordinate, ζ, of a reaction into 2 components as shown in equation 1: the energy due to straining the original reactant molecules (∆E strain) and the energy due to interaction between reactant ...

  7. Jahn–Teller effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahn–Teller_effect

    The Jahn–Teller effect (JT effect or JTE) is an important mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in molecular and solid-state systems which has far-reaching consequences in different fields, and is responsible for a variety of phenomena in spectroscopy, stereochemistry, crystal chemistry, molecular and solid-state physics, and materials science.

  8. Elastic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_energy

    Elastic energy is the mechanical potential energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as it is subjected to elastic deformation by work performed upon it. Elastic energy occurs when objects are impermanently compressed, stretched or generally deformed in any manner.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_engineering:_M–Z

    Maximum-distortion energy theory. Maximum-normal-stress theory. Maximum shear stress. Maxwell's equations are a set of coupled partial differential equations that, together with the Lorentz force law, form the foundation of classical electromagnetism, classical optics, and electric circuits.
