In structures subject to a very large number of cycles of fluctuating load, typically at least 100000 load applications, failure may occur by the continued growth of cracks in the […]

If yielding is governed by the presence of shearing stresses on some planes in a material, then no yielding is theoretically possible when the material is under hydrostatic pressure.
EK155
A first order elastic analysis of a rigid -jointed frame is based on the assumptions that: The material behaves linearly, so that all yielding effects are ignored. The members behave […]
EK142
High local stress concentrations are not usually important in ductile materials under static loading situations, because the local yielding resulting form these concentrations causes a favorable redistribution of stress.
EK136
At low temperatures the energy absorbtion is low and initiation and propagation of brittle fractures are comparatively easy, while at high temperatures the energy absorbtion is high because of ductile […]

The distortion strain energy theory or strain energy theory states that yielding occurs when the shear strain energy reaches the shear strain energy in simple tension.

Inelastic analyses can be generalized into two approaches. The first approach is known as plastic hinge analysis. The analysis assumes that structural elements remain elastic except at critical regions where […]
