  2. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus is the slope of the linear part of the stressstrain 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.

  3. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    The stress and strain can be normal, shear, or a mixture, and can also be uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial, and can even change with time. The form of deformation can be compression, stretching, torsion, rotation, and so on. If not mentioned otherwise, stressstrain curve typically refers to the relationship between axial normal stress and ...

  4. Strain energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_energy

    In a molecule, strain energy is released when the constituent atoms are allowed to rearrange themselves in a chemical reaction. [1] The external work done on an elastic member in causing it to distort from its unstressed state is transformed into strain energy which is a form of potential energy.

  5. Elastic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus

    Stress-strain curve: Plot the calculated stress versus the applied strain to create a stress-strain curve. The slope of the initial, linear portion of this curve gives Young's modulus. Mathematically, Young's modulus E is calculated using the formula E=σ/ϵ, where σ is the stress and ϵ is the strain. Shear modulus (G)

  6. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    This type of stress may be called (simple) normal stress or uniaxial stress; specifically, (uniaxial, simple, etc.) tensile stress. [13] If the load is compression on the bar, rather than stretching it, the analysis is the same except that the force F and the stress σ {\displaystyle \sigma } change sign, and the stress is called compressive ...

  7. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Up to this amount of stress, stress is proportional to strain (Hooke's law), so the stress-strain graph is a straight line, and the gradient will be equal to the elastic modulus of the material. Elastic limit (yield strength) Beyond the elastic limit, permanent deformation will occur.

  8. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The modulus of elasticity can be used to determine the stressstrain relationship in the linear-elastic portion of the stressstrain curve. The linear-elastic region is either below the yield point, or if a yield point is not easily identified on the stressstrain plot it is defined to be between 0 and 0.2% strain, and is defined as the ...

  9. Elasticity tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_tensor

    The elasticity tensor is a fourth-rank tensor describing the stress-strain relation in a linear elastic material. [1] [2] Other names are elastic modulus tensor and stiffness tensor. Common symbols include and . The defining equation can be written as =
