This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Calculating stress can be a relatively easy task; you may even remember it from school. However, it’s much more ...

One theory that is used for the prediction of failure in a ductile material is the maximum shear stress theory (MSS). The basis of this theory is that failure will occur when the maximum shear stress ...

In a world where software analysis has taken over, let us take a history lesson to remember what makes our finite-element-analysis (FEA) software tick. Morh’s circle is just a graphical representation ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...
