Strain Measurement
Since in a 45-45 rossette, gages a and c are 90 apart in real space,
they must be 180apart on Mohrs circle.
b must lie midway between a and c.
This is equivalent to fitting a T (of equal arm lengths) on the circle.

Rossette technique requires that one principaldirection be perpendicular to the plane of the

concentrators have led to disastrous failures for highly stressed components.

equations and knowledge of the Elastic stress concentration factor K .

Predicting safe design limits for a material subjected to
combined (and perhaps complex) stresses requires the use of a
failure (yield) criterion.
We will discusstwo failure criteria (methods for determining upper
limits for elastic designfor ductile materials only, and only under
uniaxial stress), there are other failure criteria also in the book:
1) Maximum Shear Stress Theory (MSST): Plastic flow starts
when the maximum shear stress (in a complicated state of
deformation) reaches a value equal to the maximum shear stress
at the onset of flow in uni-axial tension (or compression).
2) Distortion Energy Theory (DET): Plastic flow arises from a
complicated state of stress (in multiaxial situation) when the
distortional or shear deformation energy is equal to the
distortional (or shear) deformation energy in uni-axial stress.

DET is another yield criterion that is used for ductile metals.
DET is an alternate to MSST.
Plastic flow arises from a complicated state of stress (in multiaxial situation)
when the distortional or shear deformation energy is equal to the distortional
(or shear) deformation energy in uni-axial stress.

We use components that contain cracks and defects.In Chapter 7 we seek to answer two questions that are important
in terms of safety and design of engineering components.
Given a certain applied design stress, what is the largest defect (crack)
that can be tolerated in a member without failure of the member. Given a certain size defect in a member, what is the largest stress that
can be tolerated without failure of the member.
The answers to these two questions will require knowledge ofa material property called Fracture Toughness.

Automobile scrap yards are filled with broken parts - the
majority of these components failed at stresses below the yield
strength. These failures were not a result of imperfections inthe material, but of the phenomenon called fatigue.
Fatigue is the name given to the:

Eventual loss of the load-bearing capacity of a structural member subjected
tofluctuating loads repeatedly. The failure is inevitable.
Loads are much less than the tensile strength or even yield strength, but the
component still fails due to cyclic loading for numerous times. Many
electronic items we buy may fail after the warranty expires?

The task is to predict, based on constant amplitude test data,

component has been subjected to many stress states, their
combined effect eventually contributed to the fatigue failure.
How to predict it?
We need a concept of damage to describe the contribution ofeach stress state i.

that are below the yield strength of the material.
There are three stages of creep:I. Primarywhere plastic deformation occurs at decreasing strain rate. In
this stage the strain rate is relatively high, however it slows down with
increasing strain. This is due to work hardening.
II. Secondarywhere the strain rate eventually reaches a minimum and
becomes near constant (steady state). This is because of the equilibriumbetween work hardening and recovery or annealing due to T.
III. Tertiarywhere the strain rate exponentially increases with strain
eventually leading to fracture (rupture).

1. Design is limited by the total amount of strain that can accumulateor be tolerated by component.
(Steady State Creep)
2. Strains are not much important but lifetime of the component prio
to failure is critical. (Creep Rupture)
What we want
= f
Example: Turbine blades in a
jet engine, will elongate at elevatedservice T until hit the casing/housing
Example: High pressure steam lines, saggingdue to strain not a worry, but rupture is.

Some design situations will be constrained by complete
failure due to creep. This is called creep rupture. (failure)

For creep rupture to occur, strains must
accumulate to the point where strain induced
voids grow and form microcracks which lead
to rupture. (the material on right is unstable)
