An Introduction to Stress and Strain
This video is an introduction to stress and strain, which are fundamental concepts that are used to describe how an object ...
Young’s modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a crucial material property that defines the stiffness of a ...
Elastic Modulus The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain ...
Engineers have long used stress-strain curves to uncover a host of material properties including elastic limit, elastic and plastic ranges, yield point, ultimate and rupture strengths, and the ...
A neck is formed in a tensile test specimen when the UTS of the engineering stress/strain curve is reached. Prior to this stress-strain condition the plastic deformation occurs throughout the sample ...
