Engineers have long used stress-strain curves to uncover a host of material properties including elastic limit, elastic and plastic ranges, yield point, ultimate and rupture strengths, and the ...

These are nonlinear elastic materials for which the slope of the stress-strain curve, (ds/de) e, is the strain dependent elastic modulus, the Tangent modulus. Elastic deformation continues until the ...

The diagrams opposite show stress-strain curves for a linear elastic material such as a metal (top) and a non-linear elastic material such as rubber (bottom). If these materials are taken to some ...

The simplest elastic-plastic constitutive model is illustrated schematically in Figure 1 as a bilinear stress-strain curve. Materials for which this model is appropriate experience elastic deformation ...

With a simple sample geometry, a 3-point-bend test can be used to obtain stress-strain behavior, elastic modulus in bending (flexural modulus), and failure limits in bending. The standards ASTM E855, ...

This test involves applying an increasing oscillatory stress or strain and monitoring the corresponding changes in the elastic modulus (G'), or the elastic stress (C) with increasing amplitude. There ...

A study has suggested that elasticity in an object possibly originates in the interactions between molecules of the flexible ...
