Book Information
- Title: Mechanical Metallurgy, SI Metric Edition
- Author: George E. Dieter, University of Maryland
- Adaptation by: David Bacon, Professor of Materials Science, University of Liverpool
- Publisher: McGraw-Hill Book Company
Working Stress and Safety Factors
- Working stress (aw) is crucial for safety in engineering applications.
- For ductile metals, aw is based on yield strength (ao); for brittle metals, it is based on ultimate tensile strength (au).
- Calculated as:
- aw = ao / No or aw = au / Nu
- Factors of safety (No, Nu) are crucial and depend on possible failure consequences and equipment type.
- Military equipment may have lower safety factors compared to commercial equipment due to weight constraints.
- Static loading in buildings has a lower factor of safety than dynamic loading in machinery.
Concepts of Stress
- Stress is defined as force per unit area, indicating how forces act on a material.
- External forces on a body can be classified as surface forces (e.g., pressure) and body forces (e.g., gravity).
- Actual stress distribution may vary and not be uniform.
Finite Element Method (FEM)
- FEM simplifies complex problems through the use of element meshes for analysis.
- Elements can be one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional, helping to model various situations.
- Important calculations involve stiffness matrices and displacement matrices to determine stress at nodal points.
- Input data preparation is critical, including element topology and node coordinates.
Stress and Strain Relationships
- Engineering stress can be computed from maximum load and area at maximum load.
- Example: Engineering stress at maximum load = 796 MPa
- True fracture stress can be calculated, providing insights into material performance under loading.
- Example: True fracture stress = 891 MPa
- Strain at fracture can be determined using logarithmic calculations:
- True strain at fracture = 0.365
- Engineering strain can be derived from true strain using exponential relationships.
Yield Criteria for Ductile Metals
- Yield criteria assess conditions leading to plastic yielding under various stress combinations.
- Yielding in uniaxial loading begins at yield stress (ao).
- Complex stress states relate to principal stresses, but yield prediction involves empirical relationships.
- Hydrostatic pressure does not induce yielding, indicating that the deviator stress is key in yielding behavior for isotropic materials.
- Yield criteria should be invariant, regardless of coordinate choices, ensuring consistent predictions across different axes.
