Engineers have long used stress-strain curves to uncover a host of material properties. The curves are created by plotting the results of tensile strength tests of material samples, putting stress ...

A neck is formed in a tensile test specimen when the UTS of the engineering stress/strain curve is reached. Prior to this stress-strain condition the plastic deformation occurs throughout the sample ...

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 ...

The tensile reaction of thin electrospun poly-caprolactone (PCL) fibers as a function of diameter is shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. Engineering stress-strain curves for electrospun PCL ibers, showing ...

Now we’ll be able to measure tensile strength, ... For any useful measurement of practical strength, you need to be looking at a stress-strain curve, which means you need to measure displacement.
