What is von-Misses stress? Why is it widely used?
Are there any limitations to using von-Misses stress in stress analysis?
One limitation is that von-Misses stress assumes the material being tested is isotropic, or equally strong in all directions. In reality, many materials have different strengths in different directions, which can make the results of von-Misses stress analysis less accurate. Additionally, von-Misses stress doesn't take into account factors like temperature or fatigue, which can also affect a material's likelihood of failure.
