Product security and reliability are major concerns in the semiconductor and PCB fabrication industries. Because of this, ...

The cytoplasm can be described as a biphasic material that consists of a porous solid phase bathed in an interstitial fluid 1. In such a material, stress relaxation arises from fluid flow through the ...

Abstract Materials subjected to moderate/large strains that exhibit similar tension and compression trends on the stress-strain diagram have several applications. Inspired by this aspect of this ...

It can be seen from Figure 3 that the splitting tensile stress-compression strain curve of RLM disk under static load mainly showed two evolution stages: pre-peak elastic-plastic deformation and ...

Experts explain why sleeping on your stomach is bad for you, plus how to switch to the best positions for sleeping.

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

Gradually increase the load on the material while recording force and elongation data. c) Analyze data: Plot force (or stress) against elongation (or strain) in a graph known as stress-strain curve.

A stress-strain curve can be generated, and the transitioning point from linear to plateau will indicate where plastic deformation initiates. c) Hardness Test: The hardness test indirectly determines ...

The last article talked about stress, strain and what they mean. This article continues the discussion by talking about how strength tests are performed, some of the considerations and how the data ...
