Engineers have long used stress-strain curves to uncover a host of material properties including elastic limit, elastic and plastic ranges, yield point, ultimate and rupture strengths, and the ...

For the material illustrated, the volume fraction of the ductile matrix is large enough that it can take the increased load without failing. The composite continues to deform along the matrix ...

Caption (a) Diagrams illustrating how columnar grains develop during the LPBF, contributing to microstructural anisotropy; (b) Stress-strain curves showing significant improvements in the ...

Figure 3: Stress–strain curves at 1,650 °C. ε̇ 0 is the initial strain rate. We note that the undulated feature after yielding, particularly at ε̇ 0 = 1 s -1 , is typical of dynamic ...

Because of their very large molecular weight (~ 10 6) polymers behave differently from the low molecular weight metals during plastic deformation leading to a ductile fracture.The top diagram shows a ...
