Stress Strain Curve: How Is It Derived & Tested?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the derivation and testing of the stress-strain curve, including inquiries about its complexity, the types of tests applied, and the measurement of shear stress and strain. Participants express curiosity about the relationship between nominal stress and shear strain, as well as the challenges in finding relevant resources.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants note that the stress-strain curve consists of a linear part followed by a non-linear part, indicating its complexity.
  • There is a request for clarification on how shear stress is measured, with a specific mention that the shared link only addresses nominal stresses.
  • One participant expresses a desire to understand the relationship between nominal stress and shear strain, suggesting that changes in nominal stress can affect both nominal strain and shear strain.
  • Another participant challenges the initial inquiry about shear stress, suggesting that the original poster should have included it in their question and encourages them to search for answers online.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus, as there are competing views on the inclusion of shear stress in the discussion and differing levels of understanding regarding the stress-strain relationship.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion, including missing assumptions about the definitions of stress and strain, as well as unresolved questions regarding the relationship between nominal stress and shear strain.

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 applied?

ok but what about shear stress??, the link shared is only about nominal stresses. How is shear strain measured??
You didn't ask about shear stress in your opening post. Sigh. How about you do a quick Google search to see if you can answer your question easily...

Actually, I would like to ask how can we find the relation between nominal stress and shear strain? I am aware that in some situations nominal stress along x-axis may change nominal strain along x axis, also nominal strain y axis, also shear strain on xy plane for instance. How can we obtain nominal stress along x and shear strain curve? There are not enough sources on internet by the way...
