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

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

The top diagram shows a tensile stress-strain curve for a 6,6 Nylon. It should be noted that the strain at fracture is very large (300%) compared to that for metals. The lower diagram shows the ...

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 ...

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 ...
