9. i) What is a yield locus? ii) Draw a schematic yield locus for an isotropic material using both Von Mises and Tresca criteria.
A yield locus or a yield surface which quantifies whether the material has yielded or not. It is usually convex and inside this surface, the linear elastic state of stress exists. However, if the state of stress lies on the surface, the material has reached its yield point and if it lies outside the surface, failure has occurred. Safe region is inside the yield locus

(2D Yield Criteria, 16 points) The stress distribution of three wind turbine blades were investigated, and found there are thee critical place, A, B and C that are under a fairly high stress state. The 2D principal stresses at these spots are given below. The uni-axial yield strength (Ơy) ofwind turbine material is 100 MPa. Note that this is purely 2D problem. So, just use the 2D yield boundaries in the lecture note to solve this problem (a) Draw the...
The Tresca and von Mises yield criteria concern the yielding of
materials by plastic deformation. Which one of the
following statements concerning these criteria is
false?
Choose one of the following
options.
Select one or more:
Neither criterion is suitable for predicting failure by brittle
fracture.
The von Mises criterion is less conservative than the Tresca
criterion.
Both criteria are based on principal stress differences.
Neither criterion is suitable for predicting yield under
torsional stress.
Both criteria are empirical, based...
Problem 1: The in-plane stresses on a thin-walled spherical tank with an internal pressure are 06 = 0o = A 48” diameter spherical tank was designed to operate with internal pressure less than 100psi. Due to valve failure, the pressure increased to 190 psi. The design notebook shows that the tank was designed using Von Mises yielding criterion with a design factor nd = 2. The tank is made of Titanium. Sy = 120 x 102psi. Determine if this is...

3. A 20-mm diameter rod made ofa ductile material with a yield strength of 350 MPa is subjected to torque of 100 N.m and a bending moment of 150 N.m. An axial force is then gradually applied. Determine the value of force when the rod begins to yield. Solve the problem two ways using the (a) Tresca theory (Maximum shearing stress theory) and (b) von Mises theory (Maximum distortion energy theory) [12+12 points

Q2- The stress elements in a piece of a structure have been evaluate to o 120MPa, o,80 MPa, and t 60 MPa (all other stress components are zero). For this piece, a safety factor s= 1.5 with respect to yielding is required. 2.1- What yield strength Oy should the material have to fulfil this condition if we consider the Tresca criteria? 2.2- What yield strength Gy should the material have to fulfil this condition if we consider the von Mises...
2) Draw two schematic graphs using pencil showing a typical stress-strain curve for aluminum. The first graph should show engineering stress vs engineering strain, and the second graph should show true stress vs true strain. Label the showing: (i) elastic modulus (ii) proportional limit (iii) yield stress (iv) yield strain (v) fracture stress (vi) fracture strain on each graph. You may show both graphs on one plot.

A circular tube is to be made of 7075-T6 aluminum with a uniaxial yield strength of 469 MPa. Suppose a hollow circular tube with an inside diameter of 46.0 mm is to be made of this material. If the limit loading condition for this part is the simultaneous application of an axial load of 120 kN and a torque of 2.0 kN-m, what minimum wall thickness is required to ensure that no yielding occurs at the limit load? Use the...
