  2. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

    For a successful design, the realized safety factor must always equal or exceed the design safety factor so that the margin of safety is greater than or equal to zero. The margin of safety is sometimes, but infrequently, used as a percentage, i.e., a 0.50 M.S is equivalent to a 50% M.S.

    where is specific enthalpy, =: is dissipation function and is temperature. And where = (+) i.e. internal energy per unit volume equals mass density times the sum of: proper energy per unit mass, kinetic energy per unit mass, and gravitational potential energy per unit mass.

  4. 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 change sign, and the stress is called compressive stress.

  5. Hydrostatic stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_stress

    In continuum mechanics, hydrostatic stress, also known as isotropic stress or volumetric stress, [1] is a component of stress which contains uniaxial stresses, but not shear stresses. [2] A specialized case of hydrostatic stress contains isotropic compressive stress, which changes only in volume, but not in shape. [ 1 ]

    Thus is the shear stress acting on the face with normal vector in the positive direction of the -axis, and in the positive direction of the -axis. In the physical-space sign convention, positive normal stresses are outward to the plane of action (tension), and negative normal stresses are inward to the plane of action (compression) (Figure 5).

  9. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    With a compressive load on a test specimen it will become shorter and spread laterally so its cross sectional area increases and the true compressive stress is ´ = / and the engineering stress is = / The cross sectional area and consequently the stress ( ´) are uniform along the length of the specimen because there are no external lateral ...
