f''y es el esfuerzo de fluencia o cedencia (The yield strength or yield point) para el acero de refuerzo en estructuras de concreto. En la curva de esfuerzo Vs deformacin, obtenida al someter a tensin una barra de acero, es el del esfuerzo para el cual el acero deja de ser elsti
El lmite de H elasticidad, es la tensin mxima que Puede soportar sin sufrir deformaciones permanentes.
Lmite proporcional
El mayor esfuerzo en el que el ste es directamente proporcional a la deformacin. Es el mayor esfuerzo en el cual la curva en un diagrama esfuerzodeformacin es una lnea recta. El lmite proporcional es igual al lmite elstico para muchos metales.
FACTOR DE SEGURIDAD The maximum allowable stress values to be used in the calculation of the vessels wall thickness are given in the ASME Code for many different materials. These stress values are a function of temperature. Section VIII of the ASME Code, which governs the design and construction of allpressure vessels with operating pressures greater than 15 psig, is published in two divisions. Each sets its own maximum allowable stress values. Division 1, governing the design by Rules, is less stringent from the standpoint of certain design details and inspection procedures, and thus incorporates a higher safety
factor
either Division 1 or Division 2. Normally, manufacturers will choose Division I for low-pressure vessels and Division 2 for high-pressure vessels. The maximum allowable stress values at normal temperature range for the steel plates most commonly used in the fabrication of pressure vessels are given in Table 12-3. For stress values at higher temperatures and for other materials, the latest edition of the ASME Code should be referenced.
