STRESS

Failure of welded structures due to the presence of flaws is typically driven by a mixture of applied and residual stresses, yet in most cases only the former are known accurately. (W 14) (1)

Residual stress = Estresse residual

 

The thickness effect discussed earlier will still exist even if fatigue strength is expressed in terms of the hot-spot stress. (W 341) (2)

Hot-spot stress = Estresse crucial, critico

 

A linear viscosity model has been developed based on a linear relationship between yield strength and temperature, and between yield stress and strain rate, where the viscosity is a function of the uniaxial stress and uniaxial strain rate. (W 35) (3)

Yield stress = Tensão de ruptura / limite de elasticidade
