  2. Impulse excitation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_excitation_technique

    In this expression, ε 1 and ε 2 are normal strains in the 1- and 2-direction and Υ 12 is the shear strain. σ 1 and σ 2 are the normal stresses and τ 12 is the shear stress. The orientation of the axes 1 and 2 in the above figure is arbitrary. This means that the values for E, G and v are the same in any material direction.

  3. Arching or compressive membrane action in reinforced concrete ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arching_or_Compressive...

    The derivation of the maximum arching moment of resistance of laterally restrained concrete bridge deck slabs utilised Rankin's [21] idealised elastic-plastic stress-strain criterion for concrete, valid for concrete cylinder strengths up to at least 70N/mm 2, which he had derived on the basis of Hognestad, Hanson and McHenry's [23] ultimate ...

  4. Dynamic mechanical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_mechanical_analysis

    A sinusoidal stress is applied and the strain in the material is measured, allowing one to determine the complex modulus. The temperature of the sample or the frequency of the stress are often varied, leading to variations in the complex modulus; this approach can be used to locate the glass transition temperature [ 1 ] of the material, as well ...

  5. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    Total strain energy theory – This theory assumes that the stored energy associated with elastic deformation at the point of yield is independent of the specific stress tensor. Thus yield occurs when the strain energy per unit volume is greater than the strain energy at the elastic limit in simple tension.

  6. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The (infinitesimal) strain tensor (symbol ) is defined in the International System of Quantities (ISQ), more specifically in ISO 80000-4 (Mechanics), as a "tensor quantity representing the deformation of matter caused by stress. Strain tensor is symmetric and has three linear strain and three shear strain (Cartesian) components."

  7. Structural health monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_health_monitoring

    Bridges in Hong Kong. The Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System is a sophisticated bridge monitoring system, costing US$1.3 million, used by the Hong Kong Highways Department to ensure road user comfort and safety of the Tsing Ma, Ting Kau, Kap Shui Mun and Stonecutters bridges. [10]

  8. 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 ...

  9. Three-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_flexural_test

    1940s flexural test machinery working on a sample of concrete Test fixture on universal testing machine for three-point flex test. The three-point bending flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending, flexural stress, flexural strain and the flexural stressstrain response of the material.
