Flow and fracture of materials according to a new limiting condition of yelding

subject

description

In general the theories on “conditions of plastification” known up till now (Tresca, v. Mises, and others) have only taken into consideration the characteristics of resistance to simple tension and compression, when dealing with structures called upon to resist mainly to tension and compression respectively, without taking into account the inherent resistance to tension and compression respectively of the material employed; this contributory factor is particularly important, especially where the exigencies are very considerable. The theory that we are about to consider has been largely confirmed in the experimental field. Applications to the study of hollow cylinders and hollow spheres serve to clarify the application of the theory in actual practice.
