Yu Mao-Hong


Yu Mao-Hong is a Chinese engineer and a university professor. He is noted for his research on the strength criteria and yield surfaces of isotropic materials. His unified strength theory has found acceptance as generalized classical strength theory. It contains the following strength theories and criteria as a function of the equivalent stress without any additional parameters:
and three one-parameter criteria:
the Mohr–Coulomb theory, the Sdobyrev criterion, and the Twin-Shear-Theory. The Unified Yield Criterion as a part of the UST is used in the theory of plasticity (physics).
