Plasticity (physics) - Yield Criteria

Yield Criteria

If the stress exceeds a critical value, as was mentioned above, the material will undergo plastic, or irreversible, deformation. This critical stress can be tensile or compressive. The Tresca and the von Mises criteria are commonly used to determine whether a material has yielded. However, these criteria have proved inadequate for a large range of materials and several other yield criteria are in widespread use.

Famous quotes containing the words yield and/or criteria:

    If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.
    —V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
