  2. Energy release rate (fracture mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_release_rate...

    If the material is linearly elastic, the computation of its energy release rate can be much simplified. In this case, the Load vs. Load-point Displacement curve is linear with a positive slope, and the displacement per unit force applied is defined as the compliance, [3] =.

  3. Nanoindentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoindentation

    Load-displacement curves can be gathered for a diverse range of materials, and their mechanical properties can be directly inferred from these curves. Additionally, some advanced systems offer the capability to integrate optical imaging with micro-mechanical characterization, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between ...

  4. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    For the case of negligible plasticity, the load vs displacement curve is obtained from the test and on each point the compliance is found. The compliance is reciprocal of the slope of the curve that will be followed if the specimen is unloaded at a certain point, which can be given as the ratio of displacement to load for LEFM.

  5. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The stress displacement curve of a plane of atoms varies sinusoidally as stress peaks when an atom is forced over the atom below and then falls as the atom slides into the next lattice point. [ 18 ] τ = τ max sin ⁡ ( 2 π x b ) {\displaystyle \tau =\tau _{\max }\sin \left({\frac {2\pi x}{b}}\right)}

  6. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load. It may be quantified in terms of an angle (angular displacement) or a distance (linear displacement).

  7. Indentation hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_hardness

    Instrumented indentation basically indents a sharp tip into the surface of a material to obtain a force-displacement curve. The results provide a lot of information about the mechanical behavior of the material, including hardness, e.g., elastic moduli and plastic deformation.

  8. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    The curve () describes the deflection of the beam in the direction at some position (recall that the beam is modeled as a one-dimensional object). is a distributed load, in other words a force per unit length (analogous to pressure being a force per area); it may be a function of , , or other variables.

  9. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The applied force is related to the displacement by [4] = where = + and , ... [45] revealing the S-shaped load/approach curve which explains the jumping-on effect.
