The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...

Cracks found in machine and structural components raise two questions: Will the crack cause an immediate failure, and if not, how long until the crack grows large enough for failure? To address the ...

The current experiment was performed to find the glass transition temperature using a method which depends upon the change of elastic behavior. The sample used was cured KU600 epoxy resin powder in ...

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 ...
