What is stress defined as?
force per unit area that is acting on a material
What is strain defined as?
fractional change in dimensions caused by force
What are the 3 principle types of stress?
- compressive
- shear
- tensile
What is compressive stress?
What is shear stress?
What is tensile stress?
What can compressive strength be defined as?
the compressive strength is the compressive stress required to fracture a material
What can tensile strength be defined as?
the tensile strength is the tensile stress required to fracture a material
What can shear strength be defined as?
The shear stress required to fracture a material
What region of this stress/strain curve is the linear elastic region?
The red region
This is the range that elastic deformation occurs - in this region, removal of the stress will result in the material returning to its original shape
What is Young’s Modulus?
Young’s Modulus is stress/strain in the linear region and is a measure of a material’s rigidity
What is the yield stress?
This is the stress at which plastic deformation begins (blue region)
It is when the curve begins to deviate from its linear path and has exceeded its elastic limit
