  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. 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)

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  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. 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.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Strain rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_rate

    It is the time rate of change of strain." In physics the strain rate is generally defined as the derivative of the strain with respect to time. Its precise definition depends on how strain is measured. The strain is the ratio of two lengths, so it is a dimensionless quantity (a number that does not depend on the choice of measurement units).
