  2. 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".

  3. 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: =

  4. Permissible stress design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissible_stress_design

    Wood, steel, and other materials are still frequently designed using allowable stress design, although LRFD is probably more commonly taught in the USA university system. In mechanical engineering design such as design of pressure equipment, the method uses the actual loads predicted to be experienced in practice to calculate stress and ...

  5. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The yield strength or yield stress is a material property and is the stress corresponding to the yield point at which the material begins to deform plastically. The yield strength is often used to determine the maximum allowable load in a mechanical component, since it represents the upper limit to forces that can be applied without producing ...

  6. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 1: Critical stress vs slenderness ratio for steel, for E = 200 GPa, yield strength = 240 MPa. Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle. It is given by the formula: [1] = where

  7. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    Stress–strain 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 ...

  8. Allowable Strength Design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allowable_Strength_Design

    Allowable Strength Design (ASD) is a term used by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) in the 14th Edition of the Manual of Steel Construction.. Allowable Stress Design philosophy was left unsupported by AISC after the 9th edition of the manual which remained an acceptable reference design standard in evolving building codes (e.g. International Building Code by the International ...

  9. Stress intensity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_intensity_factor

    In fracture mechanics, the stress intensity factor (K) is used to predict the stress state ("stress intensity") near the tip of a crack or notch caused by a remote load or residual stresses. [1] It is a theoretical construct usually applied to a homogeneous, linear elastic material and is useful for providing a failure criterion for brittle ...
