Abstract

As failure occurs at the material level, also the loads causing the failures must be identified at that level. These loads are called internal loads. In this chapter, the internal loads associated with the different load types introduced in the previous chapter are treated. As the internal loads govern the failure mechanisms on the material level, also the associated material properties are discussed. For each load type, equations are provided that enable the calculation of the magnitude of the internal loads.
