General types of mechanical failure
The general types of mechanical failure include:
1. Failure by fracture due to static overload, the fracture being either brittle or ductile.
2. Buckling in columns due to compressive overloading.
3. Yield under static loading which then leads to misalignment or overloading on
other components.
4. Failure due to impact loading or thermal shock.
5. Failure by fatigue fracture.
6. Creep failure due to low strain rate at high temperature.
7. Failure due to the combined effects of stress and corrosion.
8. Failure due to excessive wear
Classification of failure:
Brittle failure (fracture)
Ductile failure (yield)
Yield criteria
• Yield criterion defines conditions in which yielding (failure) will
occur.
• Usually represented in mathematical form (yield function, f ), which
contains two terms: σij (state of stress) and Y (Yield strength for
uniaxial load). Yield function = f (σij , Y ).
• Need to apply failure criteria to multiaxial state of stress. Multiaxial
stress state need to be converted to equivalent uniaxial stress state
(effective stress, σe).
• Thus, the yield function can be written as:
f (σij , Y ) = σe – Y. Failure occurs when f = 0.
