Shear yield strength

Let US now look at how this contact geometry influences friction. If you attempt to slide one of the surfaces over the other, a shear stress fj/a appears at the asperities. The shear stress is greatest where the cross-sectional area of asperities is least, that is, at or very near the contact plane. Now, the intense plastic deformation in the regions of contact presses the asperity tips together so well that there is atom-to-atom contact across the junction. The junction, therefore, can withstand a shear stress as large as k approximately, where k is the shear-yield strength of the material (Chapter 11).

Apart from the elastic stress transfer at the perfectly bonded interface, another important phenomenon that must be taken into account is the stress transfer by friction, which is governed by the Coulomb friction law after the interface bond fails. Furthermore, matrix yielding often takes place at the interface region in preference to interfacial debonding if the matrix shear yield strength, Xm is significantly smaller than the apparent interface bond strength, tb. It follows thus...

Friction force also comes partly into the process as the material is forced onto the tool at great pressure and high temperature. The pressure depends upon the shear yield strength of the workpiece material and the area of the shear plane. 

The mechanical properties, fiacture stress, fiacture strain, yield stress, and modulus, were measured (67) for doses up to 100 Mrads. Fracture strain was found to increase with dosage but shear yield strength decreased. Decreases averaging roughly 50% were noted for the other properties. Therefore, it is evident that the -radiation produces a predominance of chain scission over crosslinking in the epoxy. It was concluded that irradiation does not have much effect on the graphite fibers but that it degrades mechanical properties of the epoxy matrix.

This theory asserts that yielding occurs when the largest difference of shear stress equals the shear yield strength. According to this theory, yielding will start at a point when the maximum shear stress at that point reaches one-half of the uniaxial yield strength, Fy. Thus for a biaxial state of stress where ai > 02, the maximum shear stress will be ((Ti - 2)12. 

So is termed the athermal shear yield strength and is the value of the shear yield strength as the temperature approaches absolute zero (and assuming finite strain rates). The above equation can be rearranged to give...
