What is Stress strain curve: Definition and 15 Discussions

In engineering and materials science, a stress–strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined (see tensile testing). These curves reveal many of the properties of a material, such as the Young's modulus, the yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength.

    Understanding Yield Strength & Stress Strain Curve

    Hi all I was hoping someone could shed some light on the following:- I am trying to understand what Yield strength is and understand the exact limit of where elastic and plastic deformation occurs on a stress strain curve. Correct me if I am wrong but I define:- Yield strength as the amount...

    I Stress Strain Curve: How Is It Derived & Tested?

    hi, I am aware that stress strain curve involves some function which begins with linear part and continues with non linear part after a while. I consider that it is so complicated, but I really wonder how a stress strain curve is derived, what kind of tests are applied and how those tests are...

    Ansys non-linear stress strain curve

    If I am using a new material in ansys, let's say I assigned it as solid linear elastic and I assigned density, young's modulus and poisson's ration and then I applied large deformation for this material so that it should be experience non-linearity ...I wonder how Ansys can give the results...

    Stress strain diagram of mild steel -- gauge length made half

    All we know the usual stress strain diagram obtained from tensile test from universal testing machine. As modulus of elasticity is material property that means till proportional limit slope will not change. As it is not a force vs elongation curve that means there will be no re-scaling to be...

    How Do You Calculate Elastic Modulus and Strengths from a Stress-Strain Curve?

    Hello I'm having trouble wrapping my head around finding things from stress strain curvesI need to find: Elastic modulus (Young’s modulus) •Yield strength •Tensile strength •Uniform and total elongation (ductility) elastic modulus I think is 1240/0.02 = 62000 but I'm unsure of how to find...

    Stress strain curve for concrete in Eurocode

    Hello, I am doing simulation using Finite element for the concrete ,this I found the concrete model for the concrete in euro code as attached in the picture. But what I don't understand is basically why the peak of the curve is not the Fck (compressive strength), because the curve maximum is...

    Elasticity (understanding elasticity from stress strain curve)

    Hello .. I have problem understanding how to decide which material is more elastic based on stress strain curve.. my understanding is as follows 1)if a material has big youngs modulus.. then it is more stiff 2)a material with a big youngs modulus may be or may not be very elastic (elasticity...

    Stress Strain Curve: Converting Psi and In/In to MPa and mm/mm

    Hi All, I have a stress strain curve, which have strain(in/in) on x-axis and stress in Y axis(Psi). Here I want to conver the curve to stress(MPa) and strain (mm/mm). I know that Psi can be converted by multiplying the digit by 0.00689475729. But in this case I need to change the strain...
