Von Mises Yield Criterion - Reduced Von Mises Equation For Different Stress Conditions

Reduced Von Mises Equation For Different Stress Conditions

The above equation can be reduced and reorganized for practical use in different loading scenarios.

In the case of uniaxial stress or simple tension, the von Mises criterion simply reduces to

,

which means the material starts to yield when reaches the yield strength of the material, and is agreement with the definition of tensile (or compressive) yield strength.

It is also convenient to define an Equivalent tensile stress or von Mises stress, which is used to predict yielding of materials under multiaxial loading conditions using results from simple uniaxial tensile tests. Thus, we define

\begin{align} \sigma_v &= \sqrt{3J_2} \\ &= \sqrt{\frac{(\sigma_{11} - \sigma_{22})^2 + (\sigma_{22} - \sigma_{33})^2 + (\sigma_{11} - \sigma_{33})^2 + 6(\sigma_{12}^2 + \sigma_{23}^2 + \sigma_{31}^2)}{2}} \\ &= \sqrt{\frac{(\sigma_1 - \sigma_2)^2 + (\sigma_2 - \sigma_3)^2 + (\sigma_1 - \sigma_3)^2 } {2}} \\ &= \sqrt{\textstyle{\frac{3}{2}}\;s_{ij}s_{ij}} \end{align} \,\!

where are the components of the stress deviator tensor :

\boldsymbol{\sigma}^{dev} = \boldsymbol{\sigma} - \frac{1}{3} \left(\mbox{tr} \ \boldsymbol{\sigma} \right) \mathbf{I} \,\!.

In this case, yielding occurs when the equivalent stress, reaches the yield strength of the material in simple tension, . As an example, the stress state of a steel beam in compression differs from the stress state of a steel axle under torsion, even if both specimens are of the same material. In view of the stress tensor, which fully describes the stress state, this difference manifests in six degrees of freedom, because the stress tensor has six independent components. Therefore, it is difficult to tell which of the two specimens is closer to the yield point or has even reached it. However, by means of the von Mises yield criterion, which depends solely on the value of the scalar von Mises stress, i.e., one degree of freedom, this comparison is straightforward: A larger von Mises value implies that the material is closer to the yield point.

In the case of pure shear stress, while all other, von Mises criterion becomes:

.

This means that, at the onset of yielding, the magnitude of the shear stress in pure shear is times lower than the tensile stress in the case of simple tension. The von Mises yield criterion for pure shear stress, expressed in principal stresses, is

In the case of plane stress, the von Mises criterion becomes:

This equation represents an ellipse in the plane, as shown in the Figure above.

Famous quotes containing the words reduced, von, equation, stress and/or conditions:

    “Drill and uniforms impose an architecture on the crowd. An army’s beautiful. But that’s not all; it panders to lower instincts than the aesthetic. The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “In the stress of modern life, how little room is left for that most comfortable vanity that whispers in our ears that failures are not faults! Now we are taught from infancy that we must rise or fall upon our own merits; that vigilance wins success, and incapacity means ruin.”
    —Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)

    “Brutus had rather be a villager
    Than to repute himself a son of Rome
    Under these hard conditions as this time
    Is like to lay upon us.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
