  2. Plane stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_stress

    Figure 7.1 Plane stress state in a continuum. In continuum mechanics, a material is said to be under plane stress if the stress vector is zero across a particular plane. When that situation occurs over an entire element of a structure, as is often the case for thin plates, the stress analysis is considerably simplified, as the stress state can be represented by a tensor of dimension 2 ...

  3. Compatibility (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    For two-dimensional, plane strain problems the strain-displacement relations are = ; = [+] ; = Repeated differentiation of these relations, in order to remove the displacements and , gives us the two-dimensional compatibility condition for strains

  4. Critical plane analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_plane_analysis

    The chief advantage of critical plane analysis over earlier approaches like Sines rule, or like correlation against maximum principal stress or strain energy density, is the ability to account for damage on specific material planes. This means that cases involving multiple out-of-phase load inputs, or crack closure can be treated with high ...

  5. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Schematic of the loading on a plane by force P at a point (0, 0) A starting point for solving contact problems is to understand the effect of a "point-load" applied to an isotropic, homogeneous, and linear elastic half-plane, shown in the figure to the right. The problem may be either plane stress or plane strain.

  6. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The external body forces appear as the independent ("right-hand side") term in the differential equations, while the concentrated forces appear as boundary conditions. The basic stress analysis problem is therefore a boundary-value problem. Stress analysis for elastic structures is based on the theory of elasticity and infinitesimal strain theory.

  7. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    The fracture toughness and the critical strain energy release rate for plane stress are related by = where is the Young's modulus. If an initial crack size is known, then a critical stress can be determined using the strain energy release rate criterion.

  8. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_analysis

    Stressstrain analysis (or stress analysis) is an engineering discipline that uses many methods to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures subjected to forces. In continuum mechanics , stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other ...
