  2. Tensile testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_testing

    where ΔL is the change in gauge length, L 0 is the initial gauge length, and L is the final length. The force measurement is used to calculate the engineering stress, σ, using the following equation: [5] = where F is the tensile force and A is the nominal cross-section of the specimen.

  3. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    The resulting slip bands appear at the lower yield point and propagate along the gauge length, at constant stress, until the Lüders strain is reached, and deformation becomes uniform. Beyond the Lüders strain, the stress increases due to strain hardening until it reaches the ultimate tensile stress.

  4. Ultimate tensile strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength

    The ultimate tensile strength of a material is an intensive property; therefore its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.However, depending on the material, it may be dependent on other factors, such as the preparation of the specimen, the presence or otherwise of surface defects, and the temperature of the test environment and material.

  5. Universal testing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_testing_machine

    A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, [1] universal tensile machine, materials testing machine, materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength (pulling) and compressive strength (pushing), flexural strength, bending, shear, hardness, and torsion testing, providing valuable data for designing and ...

  6. Necking (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Nevertheless, this strain is a meaningful indication of the “ductility” of the metal – more so than the commonly-used “nominal strain at fracture”, which depends on the aspect ratio of the gauge length of the tensile test-piece [3] – see the article on ductility.

  7. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus is the slope of the linear part of the stress–strain curve for a material under tension or compression. Young's modulus (or Young modulus) is a mechanical property of solid materials that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness when the force is applied lengthwise. It is the modulus of elasticity for tension or axial ...

  8. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    The first nanotube ropes (20 mm long) whose tensile strength was published (in 2000) had a strength of 3.6 GPa, still well below their theoretical limit. [41] The density is different depending on the manufacturing method, and the lowest value is 0.037 or 0.55 (solid).

  9. Safety wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_wire

    When using a most common gauge of safety wire, which is 0.8 mm (0.032 in), guidance for installation can be found in several publicly available sources. FAA AC 43.13-1B, [ 3 ] MS33540, [ 4 ] and FAA AC 43.13-1B [ 5 ] identifies only 6 to 8 twists per inch (about 6 to 4 mm pitch ). 43.13-1B has no other reference to twists per inch either by ...
