The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

One theory that is used for the prediction of failure in a ductile material is the maximum shear stress theory (MSS). The basis of this theory is that failure will occur when the maximum shear stress ...

Consider the following four examples of states of plane stress. Can you construct the Mohr’s circle for these examples? Can you determine the principal components of stress? Can you determine the ...

Among the most dangerous issues facing patients in need of replacement mechanical heart valves is aortic regurgitation —  a ...
