This video is an introduction to stress and strain, which are fundamental concepts that are used to describe how an object ...

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

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

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 ...

It quantifies the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material in the linear elastic region of a stress-strain curve. A high Young's modulus ...
