  2. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    Unless stated otherwise, engineering stressstrain is generally used. True stress and strain The difference between true stressstrain curve and engineering stressstrain curve. In the above definitions of engineering stress and strain, two behaviors of materials in tensile tests are ignored: the shrinking of section area

  3. 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 ...

  4. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    Deformation (engineering) Compressive stress results in deformation which shortens the object but also expands it outwards. In engineering, deformation refers to the change in size or shape of an object. Displacements are the absolute change in position of a point on the object. Deflection is the relative change in external displacements on an ...

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The area can be the undeformed area or the deformed area, depending on whether engineering stress or true stress is of interest. Compressive stress (or compression ) is the stress state caused by an applied load that acts to reduce the length of the material ( compression member ) along the axis of the applied load, it is, in other words, a ...

  6. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that describes forces present during deformation. For example, an object being pulled apart, such as a stretched elastic band, is subject to tensile stress and may undergo elongation. An object being pushed together, such as a crumpled sponge, is subject to compressive stress and may undergo ...

  7. Ramberg–Osgood relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramberg–Osgood_relationship

    Ramberg–Osgood relationship. The Ramberg–Osgood equation was created to describe the nonlinear relationship between stress and strain —that is, the stressstrain curve —in materials near their yield points. It is especially applicable to metals that harden with plastic deformation (see work hardening ), showing a smooth elastic ...

  8. Ultimate tensile strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength

    The reversal point is the maximum stress on the engineering stressstrain curve, and the engineering stress coordinate of this point is the ultimate tensile strength, given by point 1. Ultimate tensile strength is not used in the design of ductile static members because design practices dictate the use of the yield stress. It is, however ...

  9. Necking (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necking_(engineering)

    In engineering and materials science, necking is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large amounts of strain localize disproportionately in a small region of the material. The resulting prominent decrease in local cross-sectional area provides the basis for the name "neck". Because the local strains in the neck are large, necking is ...
