This video is an introduction to stress and strain, which are fundamental concepts that are used to describe how an object ...

The tensile behavior of composites is also different from that of metals in the 'plastic deformation' region of the stress/strain curve. The diagram shows the curve for a uniaxial sample tested along ...

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 ...

The top diagram shows a tensile stress-strain curve for a 6,6 Nylon. It should be noted that the strain at fracture is very large (300%) compared to that for metals. The lower diagram shows the ...
