Front Back
Simply the ratio of the change in length caused by the external force, to the original length.
Strain
A.k.a. unit deformation
Strain
A force exerted when one body presses on. pulls on, pushes against, or tends to compress or twist another body.
Stress
Commonly expressed in force per unit area
Stress
Deals with the relations between externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies.
Stress
Load applied is normal (perpendicular) to the resisting area.
Normal stress / axial stress
Forces applied is parallel to the resisting area.
Shear stress
Contact/pressure b/n two separate bodies.
Bearing stress
Straight line
Proportional limit
Stress is proportional to strain Hookes Law, upper limit on the usable stress a material can carry also a maximum stress to which the material may be subjected.
Proportional limit
The stress beyond which the material will not return to its original shape when unloaded but will retain a permanent deformation called permanent set
Elastic limit
Elongation; permanent set; permanent deformation
Yield point
There is an appreciable elongation or yielding of the material w/out any corresponding increase of load; indeed the load may actually decreased while the yielding occurs; this is peculiar to structural steel
Yield point
Associated with yield point for materials which do not have a well-defined yield point
Yield strength
Determined by offset method
Yield strength
