  2. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_analysis

    Stressstrain analysis (or stress analysis) is an engineering discipline that uses many methods to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures subjected to forces. In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other ...

  3. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    In engineering and materials science, a stressstrain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined (see tensile testing). These curves reveal many of the properties of a ...

  4. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    Stress analysis for elastic structures is based on the theory of elasticity and infinitesimal strain theory. When the applied loads cause permanent deformation, one must use more complicated constitutive equations, that can account for the physical processes involved ( plastic flow , fracture , phase change , etc.).

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    However, structures loaded in compression are subject to additional failure modes, such as buckling, that are dependent on the member's geometry. Tensile stress is the stress state caused by an applied load that tends to elongate the material along the axis of the applied load, in other words, the stress caused by pulling the material. The ...

  6. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    The (infinitesimal) strain tensor (symbol ) is defined in the International System of Quantities (ISQ), more specifically in ISO 80000-4 (Mechanics), as a "tensor quantity representing the deformation of matter caused by stress. Strain tensor is symmetric and has three linear strain and three shear strain (Cartesian) components." [6]

  7. Viscoelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoelasticity

    t. e. In materials science and continuum mechanics, viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. Viscous materials, like water, resist both shear flow and strain linearly with time when a stress is applied.

  8. Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roark's_Formulas_for_Stress...

    ISBN. 9781260453751. Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain is a mechanical engineering design book written by Richard G. Budynas and Ali M. Sadegh. It was first published in 1938 and the most current ninth edition was published in March 2020. [1]

  9. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    Fracture toughness. In materials science, fracture toughness is the critical stress intensity factor of a sharp crack where propagation of the crack suddenly becomes rapid and unlimited. A component's thickness affects the constraint conditions at the tip of a crack with thin components having plane stress conditions and thick components having ...
