Stress = Force
Divided by
Cross Sectional
Area (Internal
reactive forces
transmitted
through the
material
subjected to
loading)
2 Types of
Stress =
Normal
Stress and
Shear Stress
Unit for Stress = Pascal
Strain =
Dimensionless is
the amount of
elongation per
unit length
Youngs Modulus
of Elasticity
Youngs Modulus
is the measure
of how Rigid or
Stiff a material is
Tensile
Testing
=
Tensile
tests
can tell
us a
number
of
material
properties
Tensile tests can tell
us that Strain and
Stress are
proportional to one
another
Can also tell us
the Elastic or yield
point, As in if the
load is removed
before it reaches a
certain stress level
the material will
go back to its
original form. Also
known as " Elastic
Behaviour"
UTS = Point at which the load bearing
ability of the specimen peaks. If more is
added to material this will result in load
bearing capacity of the material being
diminished
Ductile Materials
will begin to
neck an then
Break
Breaking or Fracture Strength
Brittle Materials will fracture
Ductility: The point
of which the
specimen will break
