Structures and solid mechanics
How parts carry load, deform and fail, from material curves to the stress checks used in design.
- Stress–strain curveHow to read a stress–strain curve, from the elastic region to yield strength, ultimate strength and fracture, with typical values for common metals.
- Von Mises stressVon Mises stress turns a 3D stress state into one number to compare with yield. The formulas, a worked shaft example, Tresca and when not to use it.
