Click For 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.
