The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

A recent research published in Engineering has unveiled a novel analysis-oriented stress–strain model that promises to revolutionize the way engineers understand and design with ultra-high-performance ...

As the elastic elements near their critical strain, the structure starts breaking down resulting in shear thinning (strain softening) and subsequent flow. Yield stress is the stress at which the ...

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 ...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is established in modern design to predict component response to forces and environmental conditions. With material properties, geometry, mechanical and thermal loads as ...

Strain gauges are the fundamental sensing elements for many types of sensors, including pressure sensors, load cells, torque sensors, and position sensors. Most strain gauges are foil types, available ...

Strain measurement is imperative during prototype design and testing. Measuring strain ensures that materials perform as they should and that equipment is safe, functional, and durable. The resistive ...
