Title Unified Strength Theory and Its Applications Author(s) Yu, Mao-Hong Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. Description XX, 412 p : online resource Abstract Note This is a completely new theory dealing with the yield and failure of materials under multi-axial stresses. It provides a system of yield and failure criteria adopted for most materials, from metallic materials to rocks, concretes, soils, polymers etc. The Unified Strength Theory has been applied successfully to analyse the elastic limit, plastic limit capacities, the dynamic response behavior for some structures under static and moderate impulsive load, and may be implemented in some elasto-plastic finite element computer codes. The Unified Strength Theory is described in detail and by using this theory a series of results can be obtained. The Unified Strength Theory can improve the conservative Mohr-Coulomb Theory, and since intermediate principal stress is not taken into account in the Mohr-Coulomb theory and most experimental data is not pertainable to the Mohr-Coulomb Theory, a considerable economic benefit may be obtained. The book can also increase the effect of most commercial finite element computer codes ISBN,Price 9783642189432 Keyword(s) 1. Characterization and Evaluation of Materials 2. CLASSICAL MECHANICS 3.
