Yield criteria

We may expect that, beginning from the values M, X at which II — IIS, a greater value of II will occur in subsequent motion. This criterion yields an upper bound of applicability of the self-similar solution from the condition... 

The noncommuting part W of the Hamiltonian takes the part of interaction or perturbation defined with respect to that part Ho of the total Hamiltonian H which is symmetric with respect to the group generators Nm 2 This perturbation must be weak in order to assure the validity of the GF approximation. The set of the operators Nm optimized with respect to this criterion yield the natural break of the system into subsystems. 

If we use the Tresca yield criterion, yielding occurs exactly at cri = Rp. With the von Mises yield criterion, the result is /i/2 [(tri — ctc) + cr f + a ] = Rp. Depending on the value of the circumferential stress, the axial stress at which yielding starts may be up to 15.5% larger than with the Tresca criterion (see... 

Note The segmentation operation yields a near-optimal estimate x that may be used as initialization point for an optimization algoritlim that has to find out the global minimum of the criterion /(.). Because of its nonlinear nature, we prefer to minimize it by using a stochastic optimization algorithm (a version of the Simulated Annealing algorithm [3]). 

As pointed out in Section XVII-8, agreement of a theoretical isotherm equation with data at one temperature is a necessary but quite insufficient test of the validity of the premises on which it was derived. Quite differently based models may yield equations that are experimentally indistinguishable and even algebraically identical. In the multilayer region, it turns out that in a number of cases the isotherm shape is relatively independent of the nature of the solid and that any equation fitting it can be used to obtain essentially the same relative surface areas for different solids, so that consistency of surface area determination does not provide a sensitive criterion either. 

The field-density concept is especially usefiil in recognizing the parallelism of path in different physical situations. The criterion is the number of densities held constant the number of fields is irrelevant. A path to the critical point that holds only fields constant produces a strong divergence a path with one density held constant yields a weak divergence a path with two or more densities held constant is nondivergent. Thus the compressibility Kj,oi a one-component fluid shows a strong divergence, while Cj in the one-component fluid is comparable to (constant pressure and composition) in the two-component fluid and shows a weak... 

We have seen in previous sections that the two-dimensional Ising model yields a syimnetrical heat capacity curve tliat is divergent, but with no discontinuity, and that the experimental heat capacity at the k-transition of helium is finite without a discontinuity. Thus, according to the Elirenfest-Pippard criterion these transitions might be called third-order. 

By the criterion of Exercise 2-9, is an eigenvalue of the matrix in a and p. There are two secular equations in two unknowns for ethylene. For a system with n conjugated sp carbon atoms, there will be n secular equations leading to n eigenvalues . The family of , values is sometimes called the spectrum of energies. Each secular equation yields a new eigenvalue and a new eigenvector (see Chapter 7). 

Materials suitable as filter aids include diatomaceous earth, expanded perilitic rock, asbestos, ceUulose, nonactivated carbon, ashes, ground chalk, or mixtures of those materials. The amount of body feed is subject to optimisa tion, and the criterion for the optimisa tion depends on the purpose of the filtration. Maximum yield of filtrate per unit mass of filter aid is probably most common but longest cycle, fastest flow, or maximum utilisation of cake space are other criteria that requite a different rate of body feed addition. The tests to be carried out for such optimisation normally use laboratory or pilot-scale filters, and must include variation of the filtration parameters such as pressure or cake thickness in the optimisation. 

Although a torsion test is simple to carry out, it is not commonly accepted as an integral part of a material specification furthermore, few torsion data exist in handbooks. If, as is usually the case, the design needs to be based on tensile data, then a criterion of elastic failure has to be invoked, and this introduces some uncertainty in the calculated yield pressure (8). 

If it is assumed that yield and subsequent plastic flow of the material occurs in accordance with the maximum shear stress criterion, then /2 may be substituted for in the above and subsequent equations. For the shear strain energy criterion it may be assumed, as a first approximation, that the corresponding value is G j fz. Errors in this assumption have been discussed (11). 

This optimum condition is designed to ensure that the botes of all components yield at the same time. If the cylinder is subjected to fatigue conditions, it has been suggested (39) that a better design criterion would arrange for the maximum normal stress, which controls fatigue crack propagation, to be the same in each component. 

Design Criteria. Traditionally the yield pressure has been regarded as an important design criterion because it is the largest pressure to which an initially stress-free cylinder may be subjected without the cylinder suffering any permanent deformation when the pressure is removed. Customarily,... 

If the sum of the mechanical allowances, c, is neglected, then it may be shown from equation 15 that the pressure given by equation 33 is half the coUapse pressure of a cylinder made of an elastic ideal plastic material which yields in accordance with the shear stress energy criterion at a constant value of shear yield stress = y -... 

This provides another criterion for testing whether a heat-pump system may be cost-effective. A power plant takes three units of to yield one unit of W. Therefore, to provide any incentive for less overall energy use, Q W must be far in excess of 3. 

Subsection A This subsection contains the general requirements applicable to all materials and methods of construction. Design temperature and pressure are defined here, and the loadings to be considered in design are specified. For stress failure and yielding, this section of the code uses the maximum-stress theory of failure as its criterion. 

As well as seeking materials with high values of Uy lE, we must also ensure that the material we choose - if it is to have the dimensions specified above and also deflect through 6.35 mm without yielding - meets the criterion of eqn. (12.8). 

For an electron-transparent specimen the absorption and fluorescence correction parts can often be neglected, this is the so-called thin-film criterion introduced by Cliff and Lorimer [4.118]. Thus, for a thin specimen containing two elements A and B yielding the net X-ray intensities I a and 1b, the concentration ratio reduces to ... 

An alternative procedure is the dynamic programming method of Bellman (1957) which is based on the principle of optimality and the imbedding approach. The principle of optimality yields the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation, whose solution results in an optimal control policy. Euler-Lagrange and Pontrya-gin s equations are applicable to systems with non-linear, time-varying state equations and non-quadratic, time varying performance criteria. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is usually solved for the important and special case of the linear time-invariant plant with quadratic performance criterion (called the performance index), which takes the form of the matrix Riccati (1724) equation. This produces an optimal control law as a linear function of the state vector components which is always stable, providing the system is controllable.
