strength criterion
1criterion — 1. A standard or rule for judging; usually plural (criteria) denoting a set of standards or rules. 2. In psychology, a standard such as school grades against which test scores on intelligence tests or other measured behaviors are validated. 3. A… …
2Tsai-Wu failure criterion — The Tsai Wu failure criterion [Tsai, S. W. and Wu, E. M. (1971). A general theory of strength for anisotropic materials. Journal of Composite Materials. vol. 5, pp. 58 80.] is a phenomenological failure theory which is widely used for anisotropic …
3Von Mises yield criterion — The von Mises yield criterion [von Mises, R. (1913). Mechanik der Festen Korper im plastisch deformablen Zustand. Göttin. Nachr. Math. Phys., vol. 1, pp. 582–592.] suggests that the yielding of materials begins when the second deviatoric stress… …
4Willam-Warnke yield criterion — The Willam Warnke yield criterion [Willam, K. J. and Warnke, E. P. (1975). Constitutive models for the triaxial behavior of concrete. Proceedings of the International Assoc. for Bridge and Structural Engineering , vol 19, pp. 1 30.] is a function …
5Bresler Pister yield criterion — The Bresler Pister yield criterion [Bresler, B. and Pister, K.S., (19858), Strength of concrete under combined stresses, ACI Journal, vol. 551, no. 9, pp. 321 345.] is a function that was originally devised to predict the strength of concrete… …
6Plurality criterion — is a voting system criterion devised by Douglas Woodall for ranked voting methods. It is stated as follows::If the number of ballots ranking A as the first preference is greater than the number of ballots on which another candidate B is given any …
7Majority criterion — The majority criterion is a single winner voting system criterion, used to compare such systems. The criterion states that if one candidate is preferred by a majority (more than 50%) of voters, then that candidate must win .[1] Some methods that… …
8Christensen Failure Criterion — Failure criteria for isotropic materials has been a long standing problem. Despite many historical attempts, there have not been any successful general forms that span the range from ductile to brittle materials. A new failure criterion that aims …
9Bond strength — In chemistry, bond strength is measured between two atoms joined in a chemical bond [JerryMarch] . It is the degree to which each atom linked to a central atom contributes to the valency of this central atom. Bond strength is intimately linked to …
10Structural engineering — is a field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineering is usually considered a speciality within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right. [cite… …
