To use the stress-strain response for designing structures, we can divide the load we want by the engineering stress to determine the cross-sectional area needed to be able to hold that load. For ...

The top diagram shows a tensile stress-strain curve for a 6,6 Nylon. It should be noted that the strain at fracture is very large (300%) compared to that for metals. The lower diagram shows the ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed ...

Researchers will monitor rail neutral temperature and rail stress through simultaneous non-contact measurement of rail axial displacement and rail temperature.
