  2. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-point_flexural_test

    These two loadings are lowered from above at a constant rate until sample failure. Calculation of the flexural stress σ f {\displaystyle \sigma _{f}} 4-point bend loading σ f = 3 4 F L b d 2 {\displaystyle \sigma _{f}={\frac {3}{4}}{\frac {FL}{bd^{2}}}} [ 3 ] for four-point bending test where the loading span is 1/2 of the support span ...

  4. Wear coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_coefficient

    Traditionally, the wear of materials has been characterized by weight loss and wear rate. However, studies have found that wear coefficient is more suitable. The reason being that it takes the wear rate, the applied load, and the hardness of the wear pin into account. Although, measurement variations by an order of 10-1 have been observed, the ...

  5. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The deflection of beam elements is usually calculated on the basis of the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation while that of a plate or shell element is calculated using plate or shell theory. An example of the use of deflection in this context is in building construction. Architects and engineers select materials for various applications.

  6. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The strength of materials is determined using various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus ...

  7. Bulk modulus - Wikipedia

    2.2 GPa (0.32 Mpsi) (value increases at higher pressures) Methanol 823 MPa (at 20 °C and 1 Atm) Solid helium: 50 MPa (approximate) Air 142 kPa (adiabatic bulk modulus [or isentropic bulk modulus]) Air 101 kPa (isothermal bulk modulus) Spacetime: 4.5 × 10 31 Pa (for typical gravitational wave frequencies of 100Hz) [8]

  8. Rockwell hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_hardness_test

    The superficial Rockwell scales use lower loads and shallower impressions on brittle and very thin materials. The 45N scale employs a 45-kgf load on a diamond cone-shaped Brale indenter, and can be used on dense ceramics. The 15T scale employs a 15-kgf load on a 1 ⁄ 16-inch-diameter (1.588 mm) hardened steel ball, and can be used on sheet metal.

  9. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The value for this is commonly set at 0.1% or 0.2% ... High strength steel and aluminum alloys do not exhibit a yield point, so this offset yield point is used on ...
