Von mises — where it appears
Named by 2 essays across 2 fields — each of them below, with the objects they name alongside it.
Also named here as yield criterion — the same set of essays touches all of them, so they are one junction rather than several.
The weld that is stronger across than along
The same fillet weld, the same size, the same steel, carries twenty-two per cent more when the load runs across it than along it. The factor is exactly the square root of three over the square root of two, and it comes out of the yield criterion rather than out of a test.
The worst stress is not where the worst bending is
Every stress this collection has quoted is a stress on a particular plane, and neither the bending stress nor the shear stress is a property of the point. Turn the plane and both change; one pair of numbers does not, and on a short beam it peaks where neither of them does.
