  2. Arc elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_elasticity

    The y arc elasticity of x is defined as: , = % % where the percentage change in going from point 1 to point 2 is usually calculated relative to the midpoint: % = (+) /; % = (+) /. The use of the midpoint arc elasticity formula (with the midpoint used for the base of the change, rather than the initial point (x 1, y 1) which is used in almost all other contexts for calculating percentages) was ...

  3. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 1: Critical stress vs slenderness ratio for steel, for E = 200 GPa, yield strength = 240 MPa. Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle. It is given by the formula: [1] = where

  4. Specified minimum yield strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specified_Minimum_Yield...

    Specified Minimum Yield Strength (SMYS) means the specified minimum yield strength for steel pipe manufactured in accordance with a listed specification 1. This is a common term used in the oil and gas industry for steel pipe used under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Transportation .

  5. von Mises yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_yield_criterion

    As an example, the stress state of a steel beam in compression differs from the stress state of a steel axle under torsion, even if both specimens are of the same material. In view of the stress tensor, which fully describes the stress state, this difference manifests in six degrees of freedom , because the stress tensor has six independent ...

  6. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    In solid mechanics and structural engineering, section modulus is a geometric property of a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.Other geometric properties used in design include: area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and second moment of area and polar second moment of area for stiffness.

  7. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    To find a unique solution (,) we need four boundary conditions. The boundary conditions usually model supports , but they can also model point loads, distributed loads and moments. The support or displacement boundary conditions are used to fix values of displacement ( w {\displaystyle w} ) and rotations ( d w / d x {\displaystyle \mathrm {d} w ...

  8. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    [1]: 58 For example, low-carbon steel generally exhibits a very linear stress–strain relationship up to a well-defined yield point. The linear portion of the curve is the elastic region, and the slope of this region is the modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus. Plastic flow initiates at the upper yield point and continues at the lower ...

  9. Shear modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_modulus

    The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the stiffness of materials. All of them arise in the generalized Hooke's law: . Young's modulus E describes the material's strain response to uniaxial stress in the direction of this stress (like pulling on the ends of a wire or putting a weight on top of a column, with the wire getting longer and the column losing height),
