  2. Hankinson's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hankinson's_equation

    Hankinson's equation (also called Hankinson's formula or Hankinson's criterion) [1] is a mathematical relationship for predicting the off-axis uniaxial compressive strength of wood. The formula can also be used to compute the fiber stress or the stress wave velocity at the elastic limit as a function of grain angle in wood.

  3. Shear strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength

    In engineering, shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force. When a paper is cut with scissors ...

  4. Tsai-Hill failure criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsai-Hill_failure_criterion

    is the allowable in-plane shear strength of the ply between the longitudinal and the transversal directions The Tsai hill criterion is interactive , i.e. the stresses in different directions are not decoupled and do affect the failure simultaneously. [ 2 ]

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    However, when the stress is kept below "fatigue stress" or "endurance limit stress", the part will endure indefinitely. A purely reversing or cyclic stress is one that alternates between equal positive and negative peak stresses during each cycle of operation. In a purely cyclic stress, the average stress is zero.

  6. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    To overcome the "issue" of having the shear stress axis downward in the Mohr-circle space, there is an alternative sign convention where positive shear stresses are assumed to rotate the material element in the clockwise direction and negative shear stresses are assumed to rotate the material element in the counterclockwise direction (Figure 5 ...

  7. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    The formula to calculate average shear stress τ or force per unit area is: [1] =, where F is the force applied and A is the cross-sectional area.. The area involved corresponds to the material face parallel to the applied force vector, i.e., with surface normal vector perpendicular to the force.

  8. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    Poisson's ratio of a material defines the ratio of transverse strain (x direction) to the axial strain (y direction)In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (symbol: ν ()) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

  9. Bulk modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus

    The bulk modulus (which is usually positive) can be formally defined by the equation K = − V d P d V , {\displaystyle K=-V{\frac {dP}{dV}},} where P {\displaystyle P} is pressure, V {\displaystyle V} is the initial volume of the substance, and d P / d V {\displaystyle dP/dV} denotes the derivative of pressure with respect to volume.
