  2. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    In mechanics, strain is defined as relative deformation, compared to a reference position configuration. Different equivalent choices may be made for the expression of a strain field depending on whether it is defined with respect to the initial or the final configuration of the body and on whether the metric tensor or its dual is considered.

  3. Paris' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris'_law

    The material coefficients and are obtained experimentally and also depend on environment, frequency, temperature and stress ratio. [2] The stress intensity factor range has been found to correlate the rate of crack growth from a variety of different conditions and is the difference between the maximum and minimum stress intensity factors in a ...

  4. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(deformation)

    Unlike brittle fracture, creep deformation does not occur suddenly upon the application of stress. Instead, strain accumulates as a result of long-term stress. Therefore, creep is a "time-dependent" deformation. Creep or cold flow is of great concern in plastics. Blocking agents are chemicals used to prevent or inhibit cold flow. Otherwise ...

  5. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_analysis

    Stressstrain analysis (or stress analysis) is an engineering discipline that uses many methods to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures subjected to forces. In continuum mechanics , stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other ...

  6. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    All of these properties indicate the importance of calculating the true stress-strain curve for further analyzing the behavior of materials in sudden environment. 4) A graphical method, so-called "Considere construction", can help determine the behavior of stress-strain curve whether necking or drawing happens on the sample.

  7. Rainflow-counting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainflow-counting_algorithm

    This method considers the flow of water down of a series of pagoda roofs. Regions where the water will not flow identify the rainflow cycles which are seen as an interruption to the main cycle. Reduce the time history to a sequence of (tensile) peaks and (compressive) valleys. Imagine that the time history is a template for a rigid sheet ...

  8. Zener–Hollomon parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener–Hollomon_parameter

    where ˙ is the strain rate, Q is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature. The Zener–Hollomon parameter is also known as the temperature compensated strain rate, since the two are inversely proportional in the definition.

  9. Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roark's_Formulas_for_Stress...

    The book covers various subjects, including bearing and shear stress, experimental stress analysis, stress concentrations, material behavior, and stress and strain measurement. It also features expanded tables and cases, improved notations and figures within the tables, consistent table and equation numbering, and verification of correction ...
