What is stress
Resistance of body upon which force is being exerted
Types of stress
Axial
Shear
Bending
Torsional
What is tension?
Forces pulling away
What is compression?
Forces pushing together
What is strain
Change in length, reported as a percentage
What region of stress strain curves is the elastic region?
Up to the proportional limit
What region of stress strain curves is the plastic region?
Past the PL up to the failure point
What is the elastic limit?
Max stress material withstands without permanent deformation
What is yield strength?
Stress at which material begins to function aplastically
What is ultimate tensil strength?
Max stress before failure in tension
What is ultimate compressive strength?
Max stress before failure in compression
