  2. Critical state soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_state_soil_mechanics

    Normally consolidated soil goes to critical state along the stress path on Roscoe surface. Critical state soil mechanics is the area of soil mechanics that encompasses the conceptual models representing the mechanical behavior of saturated remoulded soils based on the critical state concept.

  3. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    Mohr's circle for plane stress and plane strain conditions (Pole approach). Any straight line drawn from the pole will intersect the Mohr circle at a point that represents the state of stress on a plane inclined at the same orientation (parallel) in space as that line.

  4. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    The stress and strain can be normal, shear, or a mixture, and can also be uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial, and can even change with time. The form of deformation can be compression, stretching, torsion, rotation, and so on. If not mentioned otherwise, stressstrain curve typically refers to the relationship between axial normal stress and ...

  5. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    Different criteria can be used to define the "shear strength" and the "yield point" for a soil element from a stressstrain curve. One may define the peak shear strength as the peak of a stressstrain curve, or the shear strength at critical state as the value after large strains when the shear resistance levels off.

  6. Hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness

    Diagram of a stress-strain curve, showing the relationship between stress (force applied per unit area) and strain or deformation of a ductile metal In solid mechanics , solids generally have three responses to force , depending on the amount of force and the type of material:

  7. Toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toughness

    Toughness as defined by the area under the stressstrain curve for one unit volume of the material. In materials science and metallurgy, toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing. [1] Toughness is the strength with which the material opposes rupture.

  8. Stress–strength analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strength_analysis

    Probability density of stress S (red, top) and resistance R (blue, top), and of equality (m = R - S = 0, black, bottom). Distribution of stress S and strength R: all the (R, S) situations have a probability density (grey level surface). The area where the margin m = R - S is positive is the set of situation where the system is reliable (R > S).

  9. 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 ...
