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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting a stress-strain curve from Psi and in/in to MPa and mm/mm. The conversion factor for Psi to MPa is established as 0.00689475729. It is confirmed that strain is a unitless quantity and does not require conversion; it can be represented in any unit such as mm/mm or yard/yard without affecting its value.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stress-strain curves
  • Knowledge of unit conversion, specifically Psi to MPa
  • Familiarity with strain as a unitless quantity
  • Basic principles of material mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the conversion factors for other stress units, such as Pascals to Psi
  • Learn about the significance of stress-strain curves in material science
  • Explore the implications of unitless quantities in engineering calculations
  • Investigate graphical representation techniques for stress-strain data
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and students studying mechanics who need to understand stress-strain relationships and unit conversions in material testing.

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 value? As strain is a unitless quantiy I can use as it is?

Hi shinoy, welcome to PF.

You are correct; strain has no units, so it doesn't need to be converted (equivalently, it can be labeled mm/mm, yard/yard, or anything you like).

Hi Mapes,

Thank your swift reply.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
