The phrase "maximum circumferential stress" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to engineering, materials science, or mechanics, particularly when discussing stress analysis in cylindrical structures.
Example: "The design must ensure that the maximum circumferential stress does not exceed the material's yield strength."
Alternatives: "peak circumferential stress" or "highest circumferential stress."
When the crack grows in tensile manner, the maximum circumferential stress criterion is adopted to determine the crack bifurcation angle.
The crack propagation path has been obtained step by step, applying the criterion of the maximum circumferential stress at the crack tip.
A combination of dynamic crack initiation toughness and crack orientation along the maximum circumferential stress is used to design a relatively simple and efficient formulation.
For this purposes the strain energy density theory and the maximum circumferential stress theory are considered and extended to orthotropic materials.
The model is based on elastic and fracturing mechanics of a rock, as well as the maximum circumferential stress criterion and boundary element method.
We also explore the prediction of the crack initiation angle and achieve reasonable success with a simple criterion based on the maximum circumferential stress near the uncracked interface corner.
Finally, combined with the maximum circumferential tensile stress theory and anisotropic analysis of stress field on the crack tip, the initiation angle and equivalent stress intensity factor of the crack were obtained.
Criterions to predict crack propagation direction were proposed by many previous works, such as the maximum circumferential tensile stress criterion [5], the minimum strain energy density factor criterion [6], the maximum energy release rate criterion [7] and an empirical formula [8].
Application of XFEM in combination of the maximum circumferential tensile stress criterion for investigation of crack propagation in orthotropic FGM problems is performed for the first time.
Special crack tip enrichment functions of XFEM are used to model fractures in orthotropic formations, and the maximum circumferential tensile stress criterion is modified to determine the fracture propagation direction.
Erdogan and Sih [5] proposed the maximum circumferential tensile stress criterion in 1963.
