What is von-Misses stress? Why is it widely used?
Can you give me an example of when von-Misses stress would be used?
Sure, let's say we're designing a bridge. To make sure the bridge can withstand repeated use and heavy loads, we would need to calculate the von-Misses stress in the materials we're using to build the bridge. This would give us an idea of whether the bridge will hold up over time, and whether we need to use stronger materials or reinforcements.
