MAXIMUM STRAIN ENERGY THEORY (BELTRAMI’s or HAIGH’s THEORY)


            The failure or yielding occurs when the strain energy per unit volume in a strained material reaches the limiting strain energy (or strain energy at the yield point) per unit volume as determined from simple tension test.

            This theory is also known as Beltrami’s or Haigh’s theory.


           According to this theory, the maximum energy which a body can store without deforming plastically is constant for that material irrespective of the manner of loading.

(1/2E) [σ12 + σ22 + σ32 - 2ν (σ1 σ2 + σ2 σ3 + σ3 σ1)] = σe2/2E
     [σ12 + σ22 + σ32 - 2ν (σ1 σ2 + σ2 σ3 + σ3 σ1)] = σe2

           This theory breaks down for a case when, σ1 = σ2 = σ3 = - σ

           And in that case failure is predicted when

σ = σe/√3(1-2v)

          But in fact with this type of loading, when there is uniform pressure all round, no failure occurs. This theory holds feasible for ductile materials.

OCTAHEDRAL SHEARING STRESS THEORY                       According to this theory, the critical quantity is the shearing stress on the octahedral plane. The plane which is equally inclined to all the three principle axes is called the octahedral plane. τ oct = (1/3) [(σ 1 – σ 2 ) 2 + (σ 2 – σ 3 ) 2 + (σ 3 – σ 1 ) 2 ] 1/2                                                                                        where, τ oct = octahedral shearing stress Failure is said to occur when τ oct = ((√2)/3) σ e            This theory holds feasible for ductile materials and is similar to Von Mises theory.

WELD SYMBOLS USED IN DESIGN

WELDING SYMBOLS AND ITS MEANING USED IN DESIGN                                 It’s a very usual aspect to use weld symbols in most of the mechanical drawings. Nowadays, it has become very important to have knowledge concerned with the welding symbols. There is a basic format given for showing the weld types used with its specifications. The welding standards have been varying in different areas. These standards had been updated from time to time by various non-profit organizations like AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction), API (American Petroleum Institute), AWS (American Welding Society) in USA and many other countries. In India, the welding standards are summarized by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) in which they are having certain IS (Indian standards) numbers or codes which are followed by most of the Indian companies.                        The above fig. shows the format used for annotation of weld symbol

GUEST’s or TRESCA’s THEORY

MAXIMUM SHEAR STRESS THEORY (GUEST’s or TRESCA’s THEORY)                  According to this theory, the elastic failure occurs when the greatest shear stress reaches a value equal to the shear stress at elastic limit in a simple tension test. This theory is considered for ductile materials, since shearing doesn’t occur in brittle materials. (½)(σ 1 – σ 3 ) = (½)σ e           or                                                               σ 1 – σ 3     =       σ e                   The maximum shear stress theory is also known as Guest’s or Tresca’s theory.
