stress/strain Flashcards
equation for stress?
stress = force/cross sectional area
stress is indépendant of material, but breaking points of materials can be used to determine strenghts
y
stress = force/cross sectional area
y
strain units?
none
e=
delta l/l
straight line in stress strain?
proportional limit
elastic limit?
E
what is the yield point?
material undergoes considerable elongation without an increase in stress (straight line)
is there elastic recovery in the yield area?
no
material begins to strain or work harden during yielding-what is this called?
strain hardening
stiffnoess (k) =
f/delta l
youngs modulus (E) =
stress/strain
hookes law?
most materials have an initial region on thisr stress strain curve where they behave both elastically and linearly
what is necking?
wasting in the material, cross sectional area is reduced, accounts for dip after ultimate strength where strain increases with decreasing stress
units for E?
Pa - since strain has no units
