  2. 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.

  3. Shear strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength

    This is only the average stress, actual stress distribution is not uniform. In real world applications, this equation only gives an approximation and the maximum shear stress would be higher. Stress is not often equally distributed across a part so the shear strength would need to be higher to account for the estimate. [2]

  4. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    For example, to achieve a factor of safety of 4, the allowable stress in an AISI 1018 steel component can be calculated to be = / = 440/4 = 110 MPa, or = 110×10 6 N/m 2. Such allowable stresses are also known as "design stresses" or "working stresses".

  5. von Mises yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion

    Here is yield stress of the material in pure shear. As shown later in this article, at the onset of yielding, the magnitude of the shear yield stress in pure shear is √3 times lower than the tensile yield stress in the case of simple tension. Thus, we have: =

  6. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering)

    The applied stress to overcome the resistance of a perfect lattice to shear is the theoretical yield strength, τ max. The stress displacement curve of a plane of atoms varies sinusoidally as stress peaks when an atom is forced over the atom below and then falls as the atom slides into the next lattice point. [18]

  7. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Hertzian contact stress refers to the localized stresses that develop as two curved surfaces come in contact and deform slightly under the imposed loads. This amount of deformation is dependent on the modulus of elasticity of the material in contact. It gives the contact stress as a function of the normal contact force, the radii of curvature ...

  8. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  9. 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 σ {\displaystyle \sigma } change sign, and the stress is called compressive ...
