Yield strength Definition and 35 Threads

TL;DR Summary: I have experimented metal bars under cyclic load, you can find the picture attached of the hysteresis loops of "Load vs displacement" of the experimental work... 13 steps (each step 3 cycles) Now I want to find the point where the steel started yielding and the yield strength so...

Help would very appreciated. Also I am new to this website so if something seems wrong please tell me :)

Summary: Yield Strength value as well as maximum load capacity. Need equations and possibly a break down on how to solve the issue. So let's say I have a Wooden Street pole and I want to mount a steel bracket using metal bands to the street pole. The bracket will be mounted to the beam using 4...

I'm trying to learn some new engineering, so if something I ask doesn't make sense -- remember I'm new to this. I need to calculate how much force a part can take before breaking. Material: resin (Flexural Yield Strength: 6752 psi) - (Tensile Strength: 3390 psi) - (Density [lbs/gal]: 9.64) -...

I'm trying to find the Yield strength, that is how much force can be applied to carbon nanotubes so that they stretch to the limit before plastic deformation. And also how much they stretch at this limit. Do they stretch at all? Or are they always the same length until the Ultimate Tensile...

Hello! I am in a student-run engineering team that heavily utilizes fiber reinforced plastics, and I am just trying to get a better understanding of FRPs. I am wondering how exactly the fiber reinforces the plastic. Let's say the yield strength of the fiber in the 0 degree tensile direction is...

Hi all I was hoping someone could shed some light on the following:- I am trying to understand what Yield strength is and understand the exact limit of where elastic and plastic deformation occurs on a stress strain curve. Correct me if I am wrong but I define:- Yield strength as the amount...

I have found sources that state hardness can't be correlated to yield strength, but only to ultimate strength. Other sources state the opposite. Yet other sources claim you can do both with different equations. Can someone direct me to a source that addresses my question, or addresses the...

Hi, I am currently needing to place (and weld to the ground) a shipping container on a low bridge that is perpendicular to the shore. I was wondering if anyone knows how much force the sides of the container can withstand before buckling and/or bending. In essence, we have to account for very...

Hey guys, Desai Yield Surface: I have a hard time understanding the parameters of the model for soils. If I have three principle stresses, σ1, σ2, σ3. And R is defined as the Tri-axial strength in tension, how would I define R. Lastly can I just say that I1 = σ1+σ2+σ3 J2= 1/6 * ((σ1-σ2)2...

I am going through a literature where the terms like ( 'plastic yielding' , 'plastic yield strength', plastic strength' and 'plastic stress') are regularly used and I am confused. Are they different and if yes then how each term differs from the other? I also want to know relation of plastic...

How do I find torsion constant (Kt) of a spring which is bent, as shown in the image below

I have a flat steel bar (30 mm width, 5 mm thick, 1100 mm long). The bar has a load applied in the centre of 100N. the bar is fixed at both ends with a single concentrated load P applied mid-span the maximum yield stress is 250 MPa (250x10^6 Pa) How do I calculate the maximum load the bar can...

Hi! Could you help me to find the yield strength at temperature SA-789/SA-789 М.

Homework Statement The figure shows the stress-strain curve for a material. The scale of the stress axis is set by s = 280, in units of 10^6 N/m2. What are (a) the Young's modulus and (b) the approximate yield strength for this material? Homework Equations E=stress/strain The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement Hi guys, I have a question here, which asks me to express the maximum stress from my simply supported beam, which I worked out to be 1.165MPa, to be expressed as a percentage of the Yield strength 95MN/m^2. I also have a follow on from that which asked me how much the...

Hello everyone, I have designed a part that should be able to withstand a shear stress of 43 MPa ( give or take). The part will be made of Nickel Aluminum Bronze (CuAl10Ni5Fe4). When I check yield strength values for this material (I'll multiply it by 0.6 to estimate its shear strength), they...

So how do I figure out if say a part is being made with a .250 round dowell pin at 100,000 yield strength and I want to use a material at 60,000 yield strength how much bigger would I have to make the dowell pin to achieve the same yield strength?

It seems to me that the ultimate strength of a brittle material can be easily determined by a bending test, but what about the yield? In the brittle regime, I can see how you couldn't, since the sample would fail before it would flow significantly. However, brittle materials can be made to flow...

Homework Statement Grade 1020 Steel has a yield strength of 42ksi and E modulus of 30 mpsi. Another grade of steel has yield strength 132 ksi. What is its E modulus? Homework Equations E=FL/EA This is the equation i should be using to find e modulus I thing The Attempt at a Solution I don't...

The term yield strength is always bugging me deciphering the actual use in some cases. If I had a plate 3m x 2m 30mm material of Yield Strength 355N/mm², does this mean the maximum allowable force at one point on the plate is 10,650N (355 x 30mm), not taking into account safety factors...

Hello Gurus, I am new to mechanical design calculations. Since I have came across one interesting fact there are two methods using for finding the shear capacity of the components. Yield Strength and Ultimate strength. Shear yeild strength=1/√3* Yield strength Ultimate shear strength=...

Hi Wasn't sure where to post this, hope it's ok in here! I've gotten myself very confused as to how to find the minimum yield strength for an element. I have used Mohrs circle to find sigma1 and sigma2, then plugged that into the von mises equation to find sigma-von = 636.8MPa. The...

Hi, these are questions from my exam from the mechanical behavior of materials. I seriously screwed the exam up. Can you guys help me out? a) Provide two reasons why C is more effective than Ni in strenghtening Fe. b) Explain why single crystalline alloys with fine grains are more...

Hey guys, I recently did a compression lab with different materials (wood and pvc pipe) and I have to plot the stress/strain curves given the data collected, as well as find yield strength (0.2% offset), ultimate compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity. I've already calculated...

What will fail if the aluminium impeller rotating at 7500 rpm and powered by 355 kw motor strikes against the stationary 10 mm thick ms plate welded at both the ends having length of 350 and width 200 mm and impeller blade is 12 mm thick. I am confused in first glance we think that blade will...

My industry (tubular steel poles) standardly uses A572, Gr65 and A871, Gr65 for shaft design with the designs taken to the minimum ASTM defined Yield and using loading factors in the design. The A572 specification has for years listed all grades as "Yield Point". The A871 specificaion (which...

Hi, This question came up on my midterm and I had no idea how to answer it without redrawing the entire curve as a stress vs. strain curve (which obviously took too long to do). Anyway, I'm just requesting a general procedure, not a numerical answer. If you had a Load (y-axis) vs...

anyone can help me out by providing the mathematical relationship between yield strength and temperature

Hey, Just wondering, how would you find the yield strength for an elastomer just from the engineering stress-strain curve. My professor said its complix and different books have different ways of finding it. Any ideas?

Can someone help me explain how a plate of metal's yield strength changes as it is 1) Rolled (flattened) then 2) Heated for some hours and cooled, and then finally 3) Cooled and rolled additionally. Does the yield strength increase at first, then drop, and then increase again? That's what I...
