Did you know that the typical stress-strain curve obtained from a uniaxial tensile test is just an approximation? It doesn't consider the fact that the dimensions of the test specimen change ...

We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test ... and engineering strain (displacement ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain ... have a non-linear relationship between stress and strain, a behavior exhibited by materials such as a rubber ...

Students will study engineering materials, focusing on their properties, processing techniques, and selection in design for modern application. Structure-property-processing relationships and their ...
