Note that the force and the displacement have been scaled respectively to stress (by dividing by the original cross-sectional area of the specimen) and to strain (by dividing by the original length).

Did you know that the typical stress-strain curve obtained from a uniaxial tensile test is just an approximation? It doesn't ...

The diagrams opposite show stress-strain curves for a linear elastic material such as a metal (top) and a non-linear elastic material such as rubber (bottom). If these materials are taken to some ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...
