Stress, types tension

The stress-intensity factors are quite different from stress concentration factors. For the same circular hole, the stress concentration factor is 3 under uniaxial tension, 2 under biaxiai tension, and 4 under pure shear. Thus, the stress concentration factor, which is a single scalar parameter, cannot characterize the stress state, a second-order tensor. However, the stress-intensity factor exists in all stress components, so is a useful concept in stress-type fracture processes. For example. 

Mechanical compatibilization is accomplished by reducing the size of the dispersed phase. The latter is determined by the balance between drop breakup and coalescence process, which in turn is governed by the type and severity of the stress, interfacial tension between the two phases, and the rheological characteristics of the components [9]. The need to reduce potential energy initiates the agglomeration process, which is less severe if the interfacial tension is small. Addition... 

DIF values vary for different stress types in both concrete and steel for several reasons. Flexural response is ductile and DIF values are permitted which reflect actual strain rates. Shear stresses in concrete produce brittle failures and thus require a degree of conservatism to be applied to the selection of a DIF. Additionally, test data for dynamic shear response of concrete materials is not as well established as compressive strength. Strain rates for tension and compression in steel and concrete members are lower than for flexure and thus DIF values are necessarily lower. 

Steel, aluminum, concrete, and other materials that form part of a process or building frame are subject to structural failure when exposed to fire. Bare metal elements are particularly susceptible to damage. A structural member undergoes any combination of three basic types of stress compression, tension, and shear. The time to failure of the structural member will depend on the amount and type of heat flux (i.e., radiation, convection, or conduction), and the nature of the exposure (one-sided flame impingement, flame immersion, etc.). Cooling effects from suppression systems and effects of passive fire protection will reduce the impact. 

Depressant This type of drag is used to "bring someone down" from a high. A depressant reduces stress and tension, and makes it easier for a person to relax. Characters under the effects of a depressant receive a +2 bonus on saves or checks against fear or stress, but also suffer a -2 penalty to initiative checks, as the drag makes the user listless and lethargic. 

Because there are so many geometries of adhesive joints encountered, and so many types of stress applied (tension, shear, torsion, thermal, etc.), the analysis of a given system must be tailored to meet the specific application. The processes of experimental design and data analysis, therefore, become quite complicated. It should also be kept in mind that flaws such as those often implicated in adhesive failure can also lead to apparent cohesive failure in the bulk material. 

Stress-corrosion cracking (S.C.C.) is a type of cracking that occurs when a material that is susceptible to S.C.C. is simultaneously stressed in tension and exposed to an environment that causes S.C.C. On a macroscopic level, S.C.C. failures appear to be brittle that is, the usual ductility of the material (e.g., when stressed in air) is considerably reduced. The tensile stress can be applied or residual, or... 

Steel wire ropes with different amounts of zinc coating (galvanizing) and different types of construction were exposed in Pacific Ocean seawater at depth to determine their corrosion behavior. Some were stressed in tension to determine their susceptibility to stress corrosion or whether stress increased their rates of corrosion. The corrosion behavior of these galvanized steel wire ropes is given in Table 3.24. 

Type la notched round bars, stressed in tension, under constant load (Fig. 6). 

This type of corrosion results from the combined action of a mechanical stress (bending, tension) and a corrosive environment. Each of these parameters alone would not have such a signihcant effect on the resistance of the metal or would have no elfect at all. 

A Sonntag testing machine is this type of device. In these tests, a stress is applied repeatedly at 1800 cycles/min to a test specimen until failure occurs. Specimens may be stressed in tension only, compression only, or both tension and compression, which is generally considered the most severe situation. In addition, fixtures can be used with this machine for producing flexure stresses. 

There are a number of methods of doing this. A common means is structural analysis using the finite element method. This type of analysis is weU suited for identifying areas of high stress. A key question to then ask. What is the primary stress state of the material in these high stress areas (tension, compression, or shear) ... 

Tests using a constant stress (constant load) normally by direct tension have been described in ISO 6252 (262). This test takes the specimen to failure, or a minimum time without failure, and frequently has a flaw (drilled hole or notch) to act as a stress concentrator to target the area of failure. This type of testing, as well as the constant strain techniques, requires careful control of specimen preparation and test conditions to achieve consistent results (263,264). 

Other distinct classes of wood in a tree include the portion formed in the first 10—12 years of a tree s growth, ie, juvenile wood, and the reaction wood formed when a tree s growth is distorted by external forces. Juvenile fibers from softwoods are slightly shorter and the cell walls thinner than mature wood fibers. Reaction wood is of two types because the two classes of trees react differentiy to externally applied stresses. Tension wood forms in hardwoods and compression wood forms in softwoods. Compression wood forms on the side of the tree subjected to compression, eg, the underside of a leaning tmnk or branch. Tension wood forms on the upper or tension side. Whereas in compression wood, the tracheid cell wall is thickened until the lumen essentially disappears, in tension wood, tme fiber lumens are filled with a gel layer of hemiceUulose. 

The strength of laminates is usually predicted from a combination of laminated plate theory and a failure criterion for the individual larnina. A general treatment of composite failure criteria is beyond the scope of the present discussion. Broadly, however, composite failure criteria are of two types noninteractive, such as maximum stress or maximum strain, in which the lamina is taken to fail when a critical value of stress or strain is reached parallel or transverse to the fibers in tension, compression, or shear or interactive, such as the Tsai-Hill or Tsai-Wu (1,7) type, in which failure is taken to be when some combination of stresses occurs. Generally, the ply materials do not have the same strengths in tension and compression, so that five-ply strengths must be deterrnined ... 

A unidirectional fibre composite consists of 60% by volume of continuous type-1 carbon fibres in a matrix of epoxy. Find the maximum tensile strength of the composite. You may assume that the matrix yields in tension at a stress of 40 MPa. 

Coran and Patel [33] selected a series of TPEs based on different rubbers and thermoplastics. Three types of rubbers EPDM, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and nitrile (NBR) were selected and the plastics include PP, PS, styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), and PA. It was shown that the ultimate mechanical properties such as stress at break, elongation, and the elastic recovery of these dynamically cured blends increased with the similarity of the rubber and plastic in respect to the critical surface tension for wetting and with the crystallinity of the plastic phase. Critical chain length of the rubber molecule, crystallinity of the hard phase (plastic), and the surface energy are a few of the parameters used in the analysis. Better results are obtained with a crystalline plastic material when the entanglement molecular length of the... 

It may be felt that the initiation of a stress-corrosion test involves no more than bringing the environment into contact with the specimen in which a stress is generated, but the order in which these steps are carried out may influence the results obtained, as may certain other actions at the start of the test. Thus, in outdoor exposure tests the time of the year at which the test is initiated can have a marked effect upon the time to failure as can the orientation of the specimen, i.e. according to whether the tension surface in bend specimens is horizontal upwards or downwards or at some other angle. But even in laboratory tests, the time at which the stress is applied in relation to the time at which the specimen is exposed to the environment may influence results. Figure 8.100 shows the effects of exposure for 3 h at the applied stress before the solution was introduced to the cell, upon the failure of a magnesium alloy immersed in a chromate-chloride solution. Clearly such prior creep extends the lifetime of specimens and raises the threshold stress very considerably and since other metals are known to be strain-rate sensitive in their cracking response, it is likely that the type of result apparent in Fig. 8.100 is more widely applicable. 

The requirements for consistent results are outlined in detail as far as accuracy of time interval, of readings, etc., in the procedure. Each report of test results should indicate the exact grade of material and its supplier, the specimen s method of manufacture, its original dimensions, type of test (tension, compression, or flexure), temperature of test, stress level, and interval of readings. 

Dynamic similarity occurs in two geometrically similar units of different sizes if all corresponding forces at counterpart locations have a constant ratio. It is necessary here lo distinguish between the various types of force inertial, gravitational, viscous, surface tension and other forms, such as normal stresses in the case of viscoelastic non-Newtonian liquids. Some or all of these forms may be significant in a mixing vessel. Considering...
