TOPIC: Distortion energy theory

STATEMENT OF THE
THEORY

1) When Yielding occurs in any material,

2) The distortion strain energy per unit volume
3) At the point of failure
4) Equals or exceeds
5) The distortion strain energy per unit volume
6) When yielding occurs in the tension test specimen.
 Distortional energy theory (von-Mises) 3
 Hydrostatic loading
 applying uniform stress from all the directions on a body
 Large amount of strain energy can be stored.
 Experimentally verified
 Pressures beyond yield stress – no failure of material
 Hydrostatic loading – change in size – volume
 Energy associated with volumetric change – volumetric strain
energy
 Volumetric strain energy – no failure of material
 Strain energy causing material failure –Chennamsetti 30
Strain energy causing material failure – distortion energy –
associated with shear – First invariant of deviatoric stress = 0

 For a given stress state estimate distortion energy – this should be less than distortion energy due to
uniaxial tensile – safe
 Given stress state referred to principal coordinate system – 4
This gives – 5
 Distortional energy – 6
 Compare this with distortion in uniaxial tensile 7
stress
 Principal stresses of deviatoric shear stress, 8
 Simplifying this expression – 9

Hydrostatic pressure does not appear in the expression

 von-Mises criteria has square terms – result independent of signs

of individual stress components
 Von-Mises equivalent stress => +ve stress
