World Auto Steel has published an interesting (if you weld on cars and I found it interesting and I don't) on hardening steel ...

where s 0.01 is the 0.01% proof stress. It is important to explain that the n value is obtained on the basis of the 0.01% and 0.2% proof stresses. The fitting can be seriously inaccurate above this ...

Dynamic properties of rocks are extremely important in a variety of rock mechanics and rock engineering problems. The split Hopkinson tensile bar (SHTB) system is used in this paper to measure the ...

Bismaleimide (BMI) is often used as the cross-linking reagent in Diels–Alder (D–A)-type intrinsic self-healing materials (DISMs) to promote the connectivity of damaged surfaces based on reversible D–A ...

There are two main types of stress - normal stress, which acts perpendicular to a surface, and shear stress, which acts parallel to a surface. Strain is a measure of the displacements that occurs ...

Did you know that the typical stress-strain curve obtained from a uniaxial tensile test is just an approximation? It doesn't consider the fact that the dimensions of the test specimen change ...

The mechanical behavior of a REBCO-coated conductor wire under uniaxial tension is largely determined by the two thickest component layers in the architecture, namely, the substrate and the stabilizer ...

It is a destructive test that measures force which can be translated to tensile properties or terms such as tensile strength, tensile ‘break point’, extensibility, stretchiness, elongation, burst ...

Figure 5. Engineering stress-strain curves for re-machined specimens of 1180GEN3 steel. since the testing method in this paper is re-machining the specimen after pre-deformation, it is not possible to ...
