Simply the ratio of the change in length caused by the external force, to the original length.
|
Strain
|
A.k.a. unit deformation
|
Strain
|
A force exerted when one body presses on. pulls on, pushes against, or tends to compress or twist another body.
|
Stress
|
Commonly expressed in force per unit area
|
Stress
|
Deals with the relations between externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies.
|
Stress
|
Load applied is normal (perpendicular) to the resisting area.
|
Normal stress / axial stress
|
Forces applied is parallel to the resisting area.
|
Shear stress
|
Contact/pressure b/n two separate bodies.
|
Bearing stress
|
Straight line
|
Proportional limit
|
Stress is proportional to strain Hookes Law, upper limit on the usable stress a material can carry also a maximum stress to which the material may be subjected.
|
Proportional limit
|
The stress beyond which the material will not return to its original shape when unloaded but will retain a permanent deformation called permanent set
|
Elastic limit
|
Elongation; permanent set; permanent deformation
|
Yield point
|
There is an appreciable elongation or yielding of the material w/out any corresponding increase of load; indeed the load may actually decreased while the yielding occurs; this is peculiar to structural steel
|
Yield point
|
Associated with yield point for materials which do not have a well-defined yield point
|
Yield strength
|
Determined by offset method
