City University of Hong Kong researchers have accidentally discovered a first-of-its-kind alloy that retains its stiffness instead of softening as the temperature rises. Indeed, high-entropy Elinvar ...

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 ...

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 ...

When the new Wanda Vista Towers building is completed in Chicago it will be 1,140 feet tall with 95 floors. The footprint of the building will be approximately 350 by 150 feet and will feature a hotel ...

‘Bronze teeth’ reflect the mechanical properties of natural teeth to a certain extent. Their mechanical properties resemble those of a tough metal, and they vary from the outside to inside of teeth.

This is a note on the compressive modulus of elasticity of Gap Pad materials, including the variability in compressive modulus values, the constant rate of strain relaxation modulus, and compression ...

Running is a spring-loaded sport—and no, I’m not just referring to the springy, carbon-plated super shoes that have swept the running world in recent years. Muscles and tendons themselves act like ...

This video by ADMET shows a concrete compression test performed according to ASTM C469 - Standard Test Method for Static Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson's Ratio of Concrete in Compression.

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 ...
