  2. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    Generally speaking, curves representing the relationship between stress and strain in any form of deformation can be regarded as stressstrain curves. The stress and strain can be normal, shear, or mixture, and can also can be uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial, even change with time. The form of deformation can be compression, stretching ...

  3. Ramberg–Osgood relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramberg–Osgood_relationship

    Ramberg–Osgood relationship. The Ramberg–Osgood equation was created to describe the nonlinear relationship between stress and strain —that is, the stressstrain curve —in materials near their yield points. It is especially applicable to metals that harden with plastic deformation (see work hardening), showing a smooth elastic-plastic ...

  4. Viscoelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoelasticity

    t. e. In materials science and continuum mechanics, viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. Viscous materials, like water, resist both shear flow and strain linearly with time when a stress is applied.

  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. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    Fracture toughness. In materials science, fracture toughness is the critical stress intensity factor of a sharp crack where propagation of the crack suddenly becomes rapid and unlimited. A component's thickness affects the constraint conditions at the tip of a crack with thin components having plane stress conditions and thick components having ...

  7. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, moderate creep in concrete is sometimes welcomed because it relieves tensile stresses that might otherwise lead to cracking. 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.

  8. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    This is not true since the actual area will decrease while deforming due to elastic and plastic deformation. The curve based on the original cross-section and gauge length is called the engineering stressstrain curve, while the curve based on the instantaneous cross-section area and length is called the true stressstrain curve. Unless ...

  9. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    The duration of compression at the impact end is the time required for a stress wave to travel along the column to the other (free) end and back down as a relief wave. Maximum buckling occurs near the impact end at a wavelength much shorter than the length of the rod, and at a stress many times the buckling stress of a statically loaded column.
