  2. Strain rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_rate

    The strain rate is a concept of materials science and continuum mechanics that plays an essential role in the physics of fluids and deformable solids. In an isotropic Newtonian fluid, in particular, the viscous stress is a linear function of the rate of strain, defined by two coefficients, one relating to the expansion rate (the bulk viscosity ...

  3. Rubber elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_elasticity

    Initially, the rubber feels quite stiff (i.e. the force must be increased at a high rate with respect to the strain). At intermediate strains, the required increase in force is much lower to cause the same amount of stretch. Finally, as the sample approaches the breaking point, its stiffness increases markedly.

  4. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    In engineering and materials science, a stress–strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined (see tensile testing). These curves reveal many of the properties of a ...

  5. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that describes forces present during deformation. For example, an object being pulled apart, such as a stretched elastic band, is subject to tensile stress and may undergo elongation. An object being pushed together, such as a crumpled sponge, is subject to compressive stress and may undergo ...

  6. Work hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_hardening

    Work hardening, also known as strain hardening, is the process by which a material's load-bearing capacity (strength) increases during plastic (permanent) deformation. This characteristic is what sets ductile materials apart from brittle materials. [1] Work hardening may be desirable, undesirable, or inconsequential, depending on the application.

  7. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Deformation are changes in the relative position between internals points on the object, excluding rigid transformations, causing the body to change shape or size. Strain is the relativeinternal deformation, the dimensionless change in shape of an infinitesimal cube of material relative to a reference configuration.

  8. Portevin–Le Chatelier effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portevin–Le_Chatelier_effect

    While properties like strain rate sensitivity and critical strain mark the beginning of the PLC effect, people have developed a system to describe the serrations themselves. These types are often dependent on strain rate, temperature, and grain size. [8] While usually the bands are labeled A, B, and C some sources have added a D and E type ...

  9. Lüders band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lüders_band

    Lüders bands are a type of plastic bands, slip band or stretcher-strain mark which are formed due to localized bands of plastic deformation in metals experiencing tensile stresses, common to low-carbon steels and certain Al-Mg alloys. [1] First reported by Guillaume Piobert, and later by W. Lüders, [2] the mechanism that stimulates their ...
