Therefore, No collapse mechanism will be leading to safe load, i.e.
not an exact load but a lower limit.

Yield Line Analysis
Plastic analysis could also be applied in assessment of plate structures
such as RC floor slab provided that the yield load of the structure is
provided for by plastic design provision (e.g. ductility).

Theories of Failure
Failure of a member is defined as one of two conditions.
1. Fracture of the material of which the member is made. This type of
failure is the characteristic of brittle materials.
2. Initiation of inelastic (Plastic) behavior in the material. This type of
failure is initiated by yielding which is typically characterized and
exhibited by ductile materials.

von Mises Criterion
The von Mises yield criterion (also known as the Maximum Distortion
Energy Theory of Failure) suggests that yielding of a ductile material
begins when the second deviatoric stress invariant reaches a critical
value. It is part of plasticity theory that applies best to ductile
materials, such as some metals.
Lecture 9/SAD 2
von Mises Criterion
Separates “hydrostatic stress” from “distortion
stresses”(Deviatoric Stress)
Hydrostatic pressure gives rise to volumetric
change while distortion stress gives rise to
distortion change without change in volume.

of distortion at yield of a simple tension test”
