what are the units for stress?
N/m^2
What is elastic deformation?
reversible strain
what is the formula σ = E ε?
σ = tensile stress
E = Modulus of Elasticity (different for every substance)
Do stronger or weaker bonds lead to a larger Young’s modulus?
Stronger
Does elastic modulus vary with direction?
yes
what is the formula 𝜈 =−𝜀𝑋/𝜀𝑍 =−𝜀𝑌/𝜀𝑍
ν = Poisson’s Ratio
𝜀𝑋 = strain perpendicular to stress

RA% = percent reduction in area
Ao = Area initial
Af = Area final
what is toughness?
The ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform before fracturing.
What is resilience?
The ability of a material to store energy
what is the formula σT = F/Ai?
σT = True Stress
F = Force
Ai = Area instantaneous

how do you find the modulus of elasticity?
the slope of the linear curve
How to find the proportional limit?
The end of the linear part of the stress curve
How to find the yield strength on a graph
you take the 0.002 stress and take the slope of elasticity up to the point on the curve.
