largest shear stress
 Tresca &Von mises creteria
• The most severely point is subjected to the
following state of stress: σyield = 260 MPa
σx=45 MPa, σy=25 Mpa, τxy=10 Mpa
σ x= τyz= τzx=0
Determine the safety factor against yielding by:
- Tresca criterion
- Von Mises criterion
 Fracture
• A center-cracked plate has a dimensions b=60 mm,
t=8mm,and large h, a force of 85 kN is applied.
• Calculate:
- The stress intensity factor K for crack length of a=
12 mm
- The critical crack length ac for fracture if the
material is 2014-T6 with Kic=24 MPa √m
- The safety factor Xa on the crack length in the this
case.
- The safety x against fracture (safety factor on K).
 Creep

A ductile cast iron bar is

to operate at a stress of
28 MPa for 2500 h
without failing. what is
the maximum allowable
temperature?
1 Mpa = 145 psi
 Creep
• Develop an equation of
the form σ = C t-n that will
relate the applied stress v
to the rupture time for
an iron-chromium-nickel
alloy held at 760·C. Using
this equation, calculate
the maximum load that a
25 mm diameter bar of
the alloy can withstand if
it is to survive for 50
years.
 Strain hardening
• A metal experiences a true strain of 0.16 at a
true stress of 500 MPa. What is the strain
hardening exponent of the metal? K = 825
MPa. What will be the true strain at a stress of
600 MPa?
 Elasticity
• A sample of material subjected to a compressive stress σz=80 MPa is
confined so that it cannot deform in the y-direction, as shown in below.
Assume that there is no friction against the die, so that deformation can
freely occur in the x-direction. Assume further that the material is
isotropic and exhibits linear-elastic behavior.
• (a) The stress that develops in the y-direction.
• (b) The strain in the z-direction.
• (c) The strain in the x-direction.
• if E = 130 GPa and ν = 0.343
 Fatigue
• - Calculate the maximum tensile stress that will
yield a fatigue life of 3.2 x 105 cycles, given values
of ao=2.5 10-4 m, ac=5 10-3m,
