Abstract
The progress of technology finds us, today, confronted with an ever-increasing number of technical problems. The automobile, the fast train, the airplane, and a wide variety of high speed machines all require the solution of numerous problems in stress analysis. Among the most important of these problems are those concerned with impact stresses. Impact stresses are commonly assumed to be those stresses which are applied instantaneously, as by a dropping weight, a sudden jerk on a cable and the like. Quantitatively this is a vague definition indeed, but at present so little is knov/n regarding the effect of the rate of application of load and the rate of propagation of the stresses that for the present at least it will be retained. Their importance in the design of a structure can easily be seen, A given structure or machine member may be perfectly safe for a certain load, if that load is applied gradually. But the same load, applied instantaneously can and has caused complete failure.

    Validation of an automated torsional and warping stress analysis program 

    Azzinari, Stephen Mark. (Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-08);
    An automated procedure for determining warping and torsional stresses in open steel members was developed by Joseph Palacak, Jr. in 1985. His FORTRAN program, called 'TORSION', determined stresses in wide flange, channel, ...

    Evaluation of the strain energy density method of notch stress concentration calculations in the plastic range 

    Stephenson, Grant B. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-03);
    Accurate stress and strain calculations at a notch usually require a non-linear finite element analysis when local yielding has occurred. The strain energy density hypothesis is a method to predict these stress and strain ...
