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 ...

Before the analysis can proceed, it is necessary to apply certain corrections to the raw data from the instrument. These corrections are usually: Thermal drift correction: Your instrument may offer ...

Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...

How the application of multiscale modelling aided the discovery of a new series of alloys surpassing the elastic properties of high modulus steels. The project initially entailed the design of a ...

SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing, Vol. 5, No. 2 (June 2012), pp. 517-527 (11 pages) ABSTRACT Three established mechanical test specimen geometries and test methods used to ...

(Nanowerk News) The realistic mechanical properties of monolayer graphene have been successfully studied by a new method developed by a research team led by Dr Lu Yang, Associate Professor of ...

A single frequency oscillation test at constant stress is used to measure structure rebuild after a pre-shear. The pre-shear is normally a constant shear rate. The value is determined directly from ...

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 ...
