:Von Mises Stress ||_ a Linear Algebraic presentation _

given the deviatoric stress tensor:

[ ]
σ11 − σ P τ 12 τ 13
Mδ = τ 12 σ 22 − σ P τ 23
τ 13 τ 23 σ33 − σ P
σ11 + σ22 + σ 33
σP =
3

then the Eigenvalue computation is taken on the following L2 system:

( M δ − σ I )⋅n^ = ⃗
0
3 2
σ + J1 σ + J 2σ + J3 = 0

The 'von Mises Stress' is then taken as:

σv = √ 3 J2 = √3 ( (σ 11
2 2 2
− σ P )(σ P − σ22 ) + (σ 22 − σ P )(σ P − σ 33 ) + (σ33 − σ P )(σ P − σ11 ) + τ 12 + τ 13 + τ23 )
Cauchy provides a more compact notation.
The von Mises criteria stems from this notion:

2
J 2 = k , shear
σy
k = , tension
√3
σv = σ y = √3 J 2

However, it can be shown for a uniform conic break in polar:

A cone
=
√ 2 π r2
A disk πr
2

F cone √2
=
F disk 2
σy
τ = 2

This permits a more passive (87%) estimate:

σ τ = 2√ J 2

The von Mises failure cone forms an approximate

98.9 ˚ tip. The exact solution would be given by:

cos θ v 1
=
sec θ v √3
