Consider the following four examples of states of plane stress. Can you construct the Mohr’s circle for these examples? Can you determine the principal components of stress? Can you determine the ...

Jointing is a basic function of engineering. For example, bolting two parts together can involve material properties and loading forces. Here, we will focus on preloading, shear and tear-out in a ...

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 stress value then levels off at the equilibrium value (Figure 7). Figure 7. Illustration showing the stress evolution of a yield stress material at constant shear rate. Normally, a low value of ...
