The maximum principle stress theory (Rankine s theory) states that the largest principle stress component, 03, in the material determines failure regardless of the value of normal or shearing stresses. The stability criterion is formulated as... 

Criteria of principal strain and of strain energy agree best with test data, maximum principle stress, maximum principle shear, and stress bias criterion correspond less well, maximum dilation the least... 

Thus, ihe yield stress ay is maximized at the isoelectric point. Note, however, in Fig. 7-20 that when the i.e.p. is shifted by the binding of ions to the particle surfaces, the maximum yield stress is reduced. As noted in Section 7.2.1, the binding of ions to the particle surfaces is likely to increase the thickness of the hydration layers on the particles that keep the particle surfaces from coming closer than a few nanometers from each other. Leong et al. (1993) have found a correlation between the size of the adsorbed anion and the magnitude of the decrease in the yield stress. However, the size of the hydrated ion, rather than the size of the ion itself, should, in principle, control the closest approach of the particles (Israelachvili 1991). 

The natural stress field were determined by hydraulic fracturing, Klee (1993), in combination with the determination of the maximum stress direction based on borehole images. The values obtained for the principle stresses at a depth of 3224 m are respectively equals to -81 MPa for the vertical stress (a,), -83 MPa for the maximal horizontal stress (Oh) which is oriented N170° from the east and -42 MPa in the perpendicular direction (Ob). 

The problem of dynamic strength of a liquid was considered in a number of works, where pulse methods [l-6] were used. The amplitude of maximum tensile stresses achieved in liquid depends, as it shown in [2,3], on the parameters of rarefaction wave (RW) and on the parameters of initial gas-containing of liquid. The fast growth of cavitation nuclei in RW leading to the relaxation of tensile stresses in liquid in a time of order of 10 s [2-4]. Further two ways of the cavitation process development are possible (i) the bubble damped oscillations occur and (ii) the irreversible development of cavitation zone take place [5,6], which leads to the formation of fosuning structure and the liquid fracture into discret particles. The main principle structure peculiarities of process in the second case remain vague. The structure of flows which forms an axial explo-... 

The line forces are independent of the coordinate along the z-direction. The principle stress difference is twice the maximum shear stress. 

An important and sometimes overlooked feature of all linear viscoelastic liquids that follow a Maxwell response is that they exhibit anti-thixo-tropic behaviour. That is if a constant shear rate is applied to a material that behaves as a Maxwell model the viscosity increases with time up to a constant value. We have seen in the previous examples that as the shear rate is applied the stress progressively increases to a maximum value. The approach we should adopt is to use the Boltzmann Superposition Principle. Initially we apply a continuous shear rate until a steady state... 

There are several resources available for designing filament-wound cylinders. In general, filament-wound cylinders are classified as cylindrically orthotropic. Adjacent helical plies, loading conditions can be determined by following the principles of laminated plate theory [7]. When applying laminated plate theory, the plate consists of the cylinder wall. In this case, the effect of cylinder curvature is neglected, and the Q and z axes are considered the planar axes of the plate. Failure criteria applied in laminated plate theory, such as maximum stress or strain, or the quadratic Tsai-Wu failure criteria [7] may also be applied. Several specialized loading cases have been studied. 

The next step is to express g as a function of the maximum deflection and the temperature jump. The peak-to-peak deflection corresponding to the sinusoidal displacement is usually specified in the experimental measurements. For this reason, the stress produced in the beam due to the deflection will be calculated in the absence of thermal effects, and, according to the superposition principle, it will superimpose later with the temperature contribution to the longitudinal stress. Thus the nonthermal contribution to Q, given by... 

The results of the experiments were analysed according to continuum mechanics as v/ell as fracture mechanics principles. The evaluation of the stress at failure as well as the energy released are used to evaluate the validity of, respectively, a maximum stress criterion energy approach as a failure criterion. 

If a sample of material is tom or broken, the break occurs in the weakest region of the sample. This means that the test of strength is not a measure of cohesion of the bulk material but rather a measure of cohesion in an area where defects in stmcture or stress concentration are at a maximum. In principle, this aspect of the problem might be overcome if the saiAples were chosen smaller and smaller so that no defects are present, but unfortunately the defects are microscopic and in general occur frequently at points which, though widely separated in terms of atomic dimensions, are close together in macroscopic samples. 

According to the Mohr-Coulomb Criterion and Terzaghi s effective stress principle, the maximum equilibrium pore pressure can be derived as...
