  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.

  3. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    On the other hand, for some materials, e.g., elastomers and polymers, subjected to large deformations, the engineering definition of strain is not applicable, e.g. typical engineering strains greater than 1%; [4] thus other more complex definitions of strain are required, such as stretch, logarithmic strain, Green strain, and Almansi strain.

  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.

    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.

  6. Slow strain rate testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_strain_rate_testing

    Slow strain rate testing (SSRT), also called constant extension rate tensile testing (CERT), is a popular test used by research scientists to study stress corrosion cracking. It involves a slow (compared to conventional tensile tests) dynamic strain applied at a constant extension rate in the environment of interest.

    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).

    Vice President Kamala Harris won California and its 54 electoral votes by 20 percentage points, with The Associated Press calling it for her as polls closed at 8 p.m. Pacific time on Election Day.

  9. 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 ]
