Stress intensity is related to product of stress and flaw size for materials. If stress is increased to critical, this results in catastrophic failure. The critical stress intensity factor KIc is a property of the material.

KIc = Strength x sqrt(flaw) x geometry factor

What is the difference between the stress concentration factor and stress intensity factor?

The stress concentration factor is a number that raises stress locally due to factors such as holes and change in cross section. In the latter case, the sharper the radius at he cross section change, the higher the stress concentration. Typically, these factors range from 1 to 3 and sometimes more. Stress intensity factor is a bit different; it is an inherent property of the material that is tested and defined for cracks or flaws. For cracks and flaws, the radius is very small, approaching zero for sharp corners, and stress concentration factors become very very high, approaching infinity. In this case we use the measured stress intensity factor and equations of fracture mechanics to calculate allowable stresses. It is often used for fatigue calculations for metals and for strength determination for brittle materials like glasses and ceramics.

How much intensity should be kept for CRO?

It depends on you... there is no such rule to keep intensity at a perticular point...


What are the difference kinds stress?

Normal stress and shear stress


What are the parts to progressive overload principle?

The progressive overload principle is all about working your body harder than what you would normaly would so that you are putting enough stress on the body to make improvements but its about finding the right intensity so that you do not sustain any injuries.

What is the relationship between resolved shear stress and critical resolved shear stress in materials science?

In materials science, the relationship between resolved shear stress and critical resolved shear stress is that the critical resolved shear stress is the minimum amount of shear stress needed to cause dislocation movement in a material. Resolved shear stress is the component of an applied stress that acts in the direction of dislocation movement. When the resolved shear stress exceeds the critical resolved shear stress, dislocations can move and deformation occurs in the material.

Critical stress at which material will start to flow?

The critical stress at which a material will start to flow is called the yield stress. It represents the point at which the material transitions from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, causing it to permanently deform under applied stress. Yield stress is an important mechanical property that determines the material's ability to withstand deformation.


Are there different types of stress that individuals may experience?

Yes, individuals may experience different types of stress, including acute stress, episodic acute stress, and chronic stress. These types of stress can vary in duration, intensity, and impact on a person's well-being.

What plays a critical role in the lone term effects of stress and it is the most common measure of stress?

The body's stress response system, specifically the release of cortisol, plays a critical role in the long-term effects of stress. Cortisol is the most common measure of stress as it reflects the body's ongoing efforts to cope with and manage stressors. High levels of cortisol over an extended period can have negative impacts on physical and mental health.
