section epub:type=”chapter”> Chapter 8 Case Studies in Modulus-Limited Design Publisher Summary This chapter discusses three case studies in modulus-limited design. The first case study is on selecting materials for racing…
section epub:type=”chapter”> Chapter 13 Case Studies in Yield-Limited Design Publisher Summary This chapter examines three applications of plasticity. The first (material selection for a spring) requires no plasticity whatever. The…
section epub:type=”chapter”> Chapter 21 Creep and Creep Fracture Publisher Summary Many structures—particularly those that are associated with energy conversion (e.g., turbines, reactors, steam, and chemical plant)—operate at much higher temperatures….
section epub:type=”chapter”> Chapter 9 Yield Strength, Tensile Strength, and Ductility Publisher Summary All solids have an elastic limit beyond which something happens. A totally brittle solid may fracture suddenly (e.g.,…
section epub:type=”chapter”> Chapter 22 Kinetic Theory of Diffusion Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the kinetic theory of diffusion. The rate of steady-state creep varies with temperature. έss = Ce-(Q/ṜT). This…
section epub:type=”chapter”> Chapter 12 Continuum Aspects of Plastic Flow Publisher Summary Plastic flow occurs by shear. Dislocations move when the shear stress on the slip plane exceeds the dislocation yield…
