2018 EMI International Conference - MS3: Instabilities and Bifurcations in Solids, Structures and Soft Materials
Dear Colleagues,
solid mechanics
Stress concentration explained without math equations
This VIDEO gives a very intuitive explanation of stress concentration with an analogy and an experimental demonstration.
Principal Stresses explained with an experiment
This video explains the concept of principal stresses using an experiment
von Mises Stress - Motivation, and Its relation to octahedral shear stress and J2 Invariant
This video gives a basic introduction to von mises stress, which is widely used in the structural analysis & design.
