This criterion is used to calculate Von Mises strength ratios. The relation between strength ratio, reserve factor and margin of safety is as follows:
This leads to the following expression for the strength ratio:
in which
The arguments of the criterion are given in Table X.D.7. The method returns an Array of 7 elements according to Table X.D.8:
