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

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).

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 ...

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 ...

in a material in the linear elastic region of a stress-strain curve. A high Young's modulus indicates a stiff material that resists deformation, while a low modulus characterizes a soft material that ...

The tensile behavior of composites is also different from that of metals in the 'plastic deformation' region of the stress/strain curve. The diagram shows the curve for a uniaxial sample tested along ...
