Surface Stresses in Table

The surface stresses are divided into the following categories:

Basic stresses: Stresses in the direction of the surface axes
Principal stresses: Stresses in the direction of the principal axes
Equivalent stresses: Stresses according to different equivalent stress hypotheses

Tip

Using the Layer Side control field, you can quickly switch between the stresses on the top and bottom sides of the surfaces (see image Displaying Stresses of Layer Sides).

Basic Stresses

The basic stresses refer to the directions of the local surface axes. For curved surfaces, they refer to the local axes of the individual finite elements (see image Displaying FE Axis Systems ).

The basic stresses are shown in the image Surface Internal Forces and Surface Stresses . They have the following meanings:

σ_{x, +} = \frac{n_{x}}{d} + \frac{6 m_{x}}{d^{2}}

d	Surface thickness

Stress σ_x,+ (in Direction of Local x-Axis on Positive Surface Side)

σ_{y, +} = \frac{n_{y}}{d} + \frac{6 m_{y}}{d^{2}}

Stress σ_y,+ (in Direction of Local y-Axis on Positive Surface Side)

σ_{x, -} = \frac{n_{x}}{d} - \frac{6 m_{x}}{d^{2}}

Stress σ_x,- (in Direction of x-Axis on Negative Surface Side)

σ_{y, -} = \frac{n_{y}}{d} - \frac{6 m_{y}}{d^{2}}

Stress σ_y,- (in Direction of y-Axis on Negative Surface Side)

τ_{x y, +} = \frac{n_{x y}}{d} + \frac{6 m_{x y}}{d^{2}}

Torsional Stress τ_xy,+ on Positive Surface Side

τ_{x y, -} = \frac{n_{x y}}{d} - \frac{6 m_{x y}}{d^{2}}

Torsional Stress τ_xy,- on Negative Surface Side

τ_{x z} = \frac{3 v_{x}}{2 d}

Shear Stress τ_xz Perpendicular to Surface in Direction of x-Axis

τ_{y z} = \frac{3 v_{y}}{2 d}

Shear Stress τ_yz Perpendicular to Durface in Direction of y-Axis

Principal Stresses

While the basic stresses refer to the xyz-coordinate system of a surface, the principal stresses represent the extreme values of the stresses in a surface element. The principal axes 1 (maximum value) and 2 (minimum value) are arranged orthogonally. You can display the principal axis directions α graphically as trajectories (compare image Displaying Trajectories of Principal Axes ).

The principal stresses are determined from the basic stresses as follows:

σ_{1, +} = \frac{1}{2} [σ_{x, +} + σ_{y, +} + \sqrt{{(σ_{x, +} - σ_{y, +})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{x y, +}}^{2}}]

Stress σ_1,+ in Direction of Principal Axis 1 on Positive Surface Side

σ_{2, +} = \frac{1}{2} [σ_{x, +} + σ_{y, +} - \sqrt{{(σ_{x, +} - σ_{y, +})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{x y, +}}^{2}}]

Stress σ_2,+ in Direction of Principal Axis 2 on Positive Surface Side

σ_{2, m} = \frac{1}{2} [σ_{x, m} + σ_{y, m} - \sqrt{{(σ_{x, m} - σ_{y, m})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{x y, m}}^{2}}]

Membrane Stress σ_2,m in Direction of Principal Axis 2

α_{m} = \frac{1}{2} \arctan 2 (\frac{2 τ_{x y, m}}{σ_{x, m} - σ_{y, m}}) \in (- 90 °, 90 °]

Other Stresses / Elastic Stress Components

This category contains the stress components due to the bending moments and membrane forces. They refer to the directions of the local surface axes. For curved surfaces, they refer to the axes of the finite elements.

The bending and membrane stresses have the following meanings:

σ_{x, b} = \frac{6 m_{x}}{d^{2}}

d	Thickness of the surface

Stress σ_x,b Due to Bending Moment m_x

σ_{y, b} = \frac{6 m_{y}}{d^{2}}

Stress σ_y,b Due to Bending Moment m_y

τ_{x y, b} = \frac{6 m_{x y}}{d^{2}}

Stress τ_xy,b Due to Torsional Moment m_xy

σ_{x, m} = \frac{n_{x}}{d}

Membrane Stress σ_x,m Due to Axial Force n_x

σ_{y, m} = \frac{n_{y}}{d}

Membrane Stress σ_y,m Due to Axial Force n_y

τ_{x y, m} = \frac{n_{x y}}{d}

Stress τ_{xy, m} Due to Shear Flow n_xy

Equivalent Stresses

The basic stresses are combined according to four [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering) equivalent stress hypotheses] for the plane-stress state.

Von Mises

The hypothesis according to von Mises is also known as the "distortion energy hypothesis". It is based on the assumption that the material fails when the distortion energy exceeds a certain limit. The distortion energy represents the energy that causes a distortion or deformation of the body. This approach represents the best-known and most frequently used equivalent stress hypothesis. It is suitable for all materials that are not brittle. Therefore, an important field of application is steel construction. The hypothesis according to von Mises is not suitable for hydrostatic stress states with equal principal stresses in all directions, since the equivalent stress is zero in this case.

The equivalent stresses according to von Mises for the plane-stress state have the following meanings:

σ_{v, Mises, Max} = \max (σ_{v, Mises, +}; σ_{v, Mises, -})

Maximum Equivalent Stress σ_v,Mises,max on Positive or Negative Surface Side

σ_{v, Mises, +} = \sqrt{{σ_{x, +}}^{2} + {σ_{y, +}}^{2} - σ_{x, +} σ_{y, +} + 3 {τ_{x y, +}}^{2}}

Equivalent Stress σ_v,Mises,+ on Positive Surface Side

σ_{v, Mises, -} = \sqrt{{σ_{x, -}}^{2} + {σ_{y, -}}^{2} - σ_{x, -} σ_{y, -} + 3 {τ_{x y, -}}^{2}}

Equivalent Stress σ_v,Mises,- on Negative Surface Side

σ_{v, Mises, m} = \sqrt{{σ_{x, m}}^{2} + {σ_{y, m}}^{2} - σ_{x, m} σ_{y, m} + 3 {τ_{x y, m}}^{2}}

Membrane Equivalent Stress σ_v,Mises,m

Tresca

The hypothesis according to Tresca is also known as the "shear stress hypothesis". It is assumed that failure is caused by the maximum shear stress. As this hypothesis is suitable for brittle materials, it is often used in mechanical engineering.

The equivalent stresses according to Tresca are determined as follows:

σ_{v, Tresca, Max} = \max (σ_{v, Tresca, +}; σ_{v, Tresca, -})

Maximum Equivalent Stress σ_v,Tresca,max on Positive or Negative Surface Side

σ_{v, Tresca, +} = \max (|σ_{1, +} - σ_{2, +}|; |σ_{2, +}|; |σ_{1, +}|) or

σ_{v, Tresca, +} = \max (\sqrt{{(σ_{x, +} - σ_{y, +})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, +}}^{2}}; |σ_{2, +}|; |σ_{1, +}|)

Equivalent Stress σ_v,Tresca,+ on Positive Surface Side

σ_{v, Tresca, -} = \max (|σ_{1, -} - σ_{2, -}|; |σ_{2, -}|; |σ_{1, -}|) or

σ_{v, Tresca, -} = \max (\sqrt{{(σ_{x, -} - σ_{y, -})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, -}}^{2}}; |σ_{2, -}|; |σ_{1, -}|)

Equivalent Stress σ_v,Tresca,- on Negative Surface Side

σ_{v, Tresca, m} = \max (|σ_{1, m} - σ_{2, m}|; |σ_{2, m}|; |σ_{1, m}|) or

σ_{v, Tresca, m} = \max (\sqrt{{(σ_{x, m} - σ_{y, m})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, m}}^{2}}; |σ_{2, m}|; |σ_{1, m}|)

Membrane Equivalent Stress σ_v,Tresca,m

Rankine

The equivalent stress hypothesis according to Rankine is also known as the "normal stress hypothesis". It is assumed that the largest principal stress leads to failure.

The equivalent stresses according to Rankine are determined as follows:

σ_{v, Rankine, Max} = \max (σ_{v, Rankine, +}; σ_{v, Rankine, -})

Maximum Equivalent Stress σ_{v,Rankine,max} on Positive or Negative Surface Side

σ_{v, Rankine, +} = \frac{1}{2} |σ_{x, +} + σ_{y, +}| + \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{{(σ_{x, +} - σ_{y, +})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, +}}^{2}}

Equivalent Stress σ_v,Rankine,+ on Positive Surface Side

σ_{v, Rankine, -} = \frac{1}{2} |σ_{x, -} + σ_{y, -}| + \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{{(σ_{x, -} - σ_{y, -})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, -}}^{2}}

Equivalent Stress σ_v,Rankine,- on Negative Side of Surface

σ_{v, Rankine, m} = \frac{1}{2} |σ_{x, m} + σ_{y, m}| + \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{{(σ_{x, m} - σ_{y, m})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, m}}^{2}}

Equivalent Stress σ_{v, Rankine,m}

Bach

The equivalent stress hypothesis according to Bach is also known as the "principal strain hypothesis". It is assumed that failure occurs in the direction of the greatest strain. This approach is similar to the stress determination according to Rankine. However, instead of the principal stress, the principal strain is used here.

The equivalent stresses according to Bach are determined as follows:

σ_{v, Bach, Max} = \max (σ_{v, Bach, +}; σ_{v, Bach, -})

Maximum Equivalent Stress σ_v,Bach,max on Positive or Negative Surface Side

σ_{v, Bach, +} = \max (\frac{1 - ν}{2} |σ_{x, +} + σ_{y, +}| + \frac{1 + ν}{2} \sqrt{{(σ_{x, +} - σ_{y, +})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, +}}^{2}}; ν |σ_{x, +} + σ_{y, +}|)

σ_{v, Bach, m} = \max (\frac{1 - ν}{2} |σ_{x, m} + σ_{y, m}| + \frac{1 + ν}{2} \sqrt{{(σ_{x, m} - σ_{y, m})}^{2} + 4 {τ_{xy, m}}^{2}}; ν |σ_{x, m} + σ_{y, m}|)
