Polymer Engineering question related to Von Mises yield criterion

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a proof question related to the Von Mises yield criterion in polymer engineering, specifically for a final exam extra credit problem. The problem involves determining values A and B using two simultaneous equations: one for uniaxial tension yielding (σ1 as fty and σ2=σ3=0) and another for uniaxial compression yielding. It is emphasized that for polymers, the yield strengths in tension (fty) and compression (fcy) differ, which is crucial for solving the equations. The final step involves analyzing the hydrostatic case where σ1=σ2=σ3=σ to solve for σ.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Von Mises yield criterion
  • Knowledge of uniaxial tension and compression yielding
  • Familiarity with polymer material properties
  • Ability to solve simultaneous equations
NEXT STEPS

You can find A and B with two simultaneously equations.
For the first equation assume uniaxial tension yielding - i.e. take σ1 as fty and σ2=σ3=0.
For the second equation assume uniaxial compression yielding. This is a polymer so it makes sense that fty and fcy would be different values - and they have to be different values otherwise you'd find that A=0.

Once you have A and B, then consider the hydrostatic case - i.e. take σ1=σ2=σ3=σ. Solve for σ.
