theory of failure

Theory of Failure considered for Machine Design

Theory of failure describe the elastic failure of the mechanical components. At the time of working machine components subjected to various loads which cause different types of stress in it. Theories of failure help us to determine the safe dimensions of the machine components when they are subjected to bi-axial or tri-axial state of stresses. …

Relation between Young Modulus, Bulk Modulus, Modulus of Rigidity and Poisson’s Ratio

Today we will learn about relation between Young Modulus, Bulk Modulus and Modulus of Rigidity. All of these are elastic constant which are used to design any machinery part or structure. We have discussed about these three constant in our last post and know all of them are ratio of stress to strain in different …

Elastic Constant : Bulk Modulus, Modulus of Rigidity and Poisson’s Ratio

Hello friends. Today we are going to learn about some important definition used in study of SOM like bulk modulus of elasticity, modulus of rigidity and Poisson’s ratio. In our previous articles, we have learnt about strain, stress and their types and relationship. We have also discussed about young modulus of elasticity in my last …
