  2. Elasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(physics)

    Elasticity (physics) 66 languages. ... The material's elastic limit or yield strength is the maximum stress that can arise before the onset of plastic deformation ...

  3. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(engineering)

    Proportionality limit Up to this amount of stress, stress is proportional to strain (Hooke's law), so the stress-strain graph is a straight line, and the gradient will be equal to the elastic modulus of the material. Elastic limit (yield strength) Beyond the elastic limit, permanent deformation will occur.

  4. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  5. Elastic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_energy

    Elastic energy is the mechanical potential energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as it is subjected to elastic deformation by work performed upon it. Elastic energy occurs when objects are impermanently compressed, stretched or generally deformed in any manner.

  6. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus is the slope of the linear part of the stress–strain curve for a material under tension or compression.. Young's modulus (or Young modulus) is a mechanical property of solid materials that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness when the force is applied lengthwise.

  7. Rankine–Hugoniot conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine–Hugoniot_conditions

    The point on the shock Hugoniot at which a material transitions from a purely elastic state to an elastic-plastic state is called the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL) and the pressure at which this transition takes place is denoted p HEL. Values of p HEL can range from 0.2 GPa to 20 GPa. Above the HEL, the material loses much of its shear strength ...

  8. Flow plasticity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_plasticity_theory

    Elastic limit (Yield surface). The elastic limit is defined by a yield surface that does not depend on the plastic strain and has the form =. Beyond the elastic limit. For strain hardening materials, the yield surface evolves with increasing plastic strain and the elastic limit changes.

  9. Ratcheting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratcheting

    When the amplitude of cyclic stresses exceed the elastic limit, the plastic deformation that occurs keep accumulating paving way for a catastrophic failure of the structure. Nonlinear kinematic hardening, which occurs when the stress state reaches the yield surface, is considered as the main mechanism behind ratcheting. [5]
