It is nowadays practicable, however, by use of modern X-ray diffraction technique, to obtain simultaneously with the external load-extension diagram the analogous diagram for the atomic lattice ...
The stiffness-strain plot uses the same data as the stress-strain curve, but for the clearest representation, engineers might need to use an expanded scale.

Understanding True Stress and True Strain
In this video I cover the interesting topic of true stress and true strain.
Course Objectives: Describe stress and strain Distinguish between elastic deformation and plastic deformation Define tensile stress, compressive stress, and shear stress Describe aspects of a ...
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 ...
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.
Introduction to Mechanical Properties provides a thorough introduction to key mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness, ductility, and impact resistance. This class discusses how ...
