Stress distribution on the shaft cross-section For the solid cross-section shaft with material homogeneity on the cross-section, the both the shear strain and shear stress vary linearly with radial ...

This video is an introduction to stress and strain, which are fundamental concepts that are used to describe how an object responds to externally applied loads. Stress is a measure of the distribution ...

Some materials have a non-linear relationship between stress and strain, a behavior exhibited by materials such as a rubber. These are nonlinear elastic materials for which the slope of the ...

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 ...
