The tensile behavior of composites is also different from that of metals in the 'plastic deformation' region of the stress/strain curve. The diagram shows the curve for a uniaxial sample tested along ...

Did you know that the typical stress-strain curve obtained from a uniaxial tensile test is just an approximation? It doesn't ...

These are nonlinear elastic materials for which the slope of the stress-strain curve, (ds/de) e, is the strain dependent elastic modulus, the Tangent modulus. Elastic deformation continues until the ...

in a material in the linear elastic region of a stress-strain curve. A high Young's modulus indicates a stiff material that resists deformation, while a low modulus characterizes a soft material that ...
