  2. Surface energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_energy

    The surface energy of a liquid may be measured by stretching a liquid membrane (which increases the surface area and hence the surface energy). In that case, in order to increase the surface area of a mass of liquid by an amount, δA, a quantity of work, γ δA, is needed (where γ is the surface energy density of the liquid).

  3. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Depending on the type of material, size and geometry of the object, and the forces applied, various types of deformation may result. The image to the right shows the engineering stress vs. strain diagram for a typical ductile material such as steel.

  4. Hyperelastic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperelastic_material

    The isochoric deformation gradient is defined as ¯:= /, resulting in the isochoric deformation gradient having a determinant of 1, in other words it is volume stretch free. Using this one can subsequently define the isochoric left Cauchy–Green deformation tensor B ¯ := F ¯ ⋅ F ¯ T = J − 2 / 3 B {\displaystyle {\bar {\boldsymbol {B ...

  5. Fowkes hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowkes_hypothesis

    The Fowkes hypothesis (after F. M. Fowkes) is a first order approximation for surface energy.It states the surface energy is the sum of each component's forces: γ=γ d +γ p +γ i +... where γ d is the dispersion component, γ p is the polar, γ i is the dipole and so on.

  6. Surface stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_stress

    Comparison of surface energy, creating new surface on the left, and surface stress due to elastic deformation. Surface stress was first defined by Josiah Willard Gibbs [1] (1839–1903) as the amount of the reversible work per unit area needed to elastically stretch a pre-existing surface. Depending upon the convention used, the area is either ...

  7. Strain energy density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_energy_density_function

    For an isotropic hyperelastic material, the function relates the energy stored in an elastic material, and thus the stress–strain relationship, only to the three strain (elongation) components, thus disregarding the deformation history, heat dissipation, stress relaxation etc.

  8. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(deformation)

    Deformation mechanism maps provide a visual tool categorizing the dominant deformation mechanism as a function of homologous temperature, shear modulus-normalized stress, and strain rate. Generally, two of these three properties (most commonly temperature and stress) are the axes of the map, while the third is drawn as contours on the map.
