So a stress-strain curve: σ on the x-axis and ε on the y axis.
σ = F / A and ε = ΔL / L
of course, L is a constant, and A is a constant if the material can be assumed to not-deform.
Can a stress-strain curve therefore be thought of as a force-extension curve?
i.e. essentially F on the x-axis and ΔL on the y axis?
That would make it a lot easier to predict properties from.
