Allowable Stresses
1 Voith Hydro Standard for Allowable Stresses

Revision -

The allowable stresses are determined as a fraction of the minimum yield strength. The actual combined stresses calculated according to von Mises Criterion shall not exceed the following allowable values:

2 Definitions
Rp Yield strength or 0,2% offset from the linear region of elongation. Rm Ultimate strength of the material.

Stress value to be evaluated for a component, typically the combined stress according to von Mises criterion. For different stress classes, see chapter 1.

allow Stress level not to be exceeded, typically defined as a fraction of Rp or Rm. aD

Amplitude of stress which defines the limit of endurance of a material under cyclic strain for a given number of load cycles.

3 Loading Cases
There are three basic loading cases to be evaluated:
