When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

In brittle materials the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials the ultimate tensile strength can be higher. The ultimate tensile strength is usually found ...

A stress-strain curve is a plot of the stress (force per unit area) versus the strain (relative deformation) of a material under a tensile or compressive load. It shows how the material behaves ...
