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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
