  2. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    Definition. Generally speaking, curves representing the relationship between stress and strain in any form of deformation can be regarded as stressstrain curves. The stress and strain can be normal, shear, or mixture, and can also can be uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial, even change with time. The form of deformation can be compression ...

  3. Resilience (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resilience_(materials_science)

    In material science, resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically, and release that energy upon unloading. Proof resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed up to the elastic limit, without creating a permanent distortion. The modulus of resilience is defined as the maximum energy ...

  4. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus is the slope of the linear part of the stressstrain curve for a material under tension or compression. Young's modulus (or Young modulus) is a mechanical property of solid materials that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness when the force is applied lengthwise. It is the modulus of elasticity for tension or axial ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Elasticity tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_tensor

    The elasticity tensor is a fourth-rank tensor describing the stress-strain relation in a linear elastic material. [1] [2] Other names are elastic modulus tensor and stiffness tensor. Common symbols include and . The defining equation can be written as. where and are the components of the Cauchy stress tensor and infinitesimal strain tensor, and ...

  7. Viscoelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoelasticity

    The relationship between stress and strain can be simplified for specific stress or strain rates. For high stress or strain rates/short time periods, the time derivative components of the stressstrain relationship dominate. In these conditions it can be approximated as a rigid rod capable of sustaining high loads without deforming.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Three-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_flexural_test

    The three-point bending flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending , flexural stress , flexural strain and the flexural stressstrain response of the material. This test is performed on a universal testing machine (tensile testing machine or tensile tester) with a three-point or four-point bend fixture.
