Corrosion engineering

principal stress

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum or minimum value at the normal stress at a point in a plane considered with respect to all possible orientations of the considered plane. On such principal planes the shear stress is ...

corrosion fatigue strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum repeated stress that can he endured by a metal without failure under definite conditions of corrosion and fatigue and for a specific number of stress cycles and a specified period of ...

ultimate strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum stress (tensile. compressive, or shear) a material can sustain without fracture, determined by dividing maximum load by the original cross-sectional area of the specimen. Also called ...

endurance limit

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum stress that a material can withstand for an infinitely large number of fatigue cycles; maximum cyclic stress level a metal can withstand without fatigue failure. See also fatigue ...

elastic limit

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum stress that a material is capable of sustaining without any permanent strain (deformation) remaining upon complete release of the stress.

fatigue strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum stress that can be sustained for a specified number of cycles without failure, the stress being completely reversed within each cycle unless otherwise staled.

fatigue limit

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The maximum stress that presumably leads to fatigue fracture in a specified number of stress cycles. If the stress is not completely reversed. the value of the mean stress. the minimum stress, or ...
