Determination of permissible applied load stress in structural elements

Graphic method is used to select allowable stresses in thermally loaded structures. Equations are used for determining the mode of failure for specific materials in order to plot a range of stress curves. Linear assumption and iterative calculations are eliminated resulting in comparatively high accuracy.
