  2. Tear resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_resistance

    Tear resistance (or tear strength) is a measure of how well a material can withstand the effects of tearing. [1] It is a useful engineering measurement for a wide variety of materials by many different test methods .

  3. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    Fracture toughness tests are performed to quantify the resistance of a material to failure by cracking. Such tests result in either a single-valued measure of fracture toughness or in a resistance curve. Resistance curves are plots where fracture toughness parameters (K, J etc.) are plotted against parameters characterizing the propagation of ...

  4. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    Fracture mechanics is the field of mechanics concerned with the study of the propagation of cracks in materials. It uses methods of analytical solid mechanics to calculate the driving force on a crack and those of experimental solid mechanics to characterize the material's resistance to fracture.

  5. Flexural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_strength

    The flexural strength is stress at failure in bending. It is equal to or slightly larger than the failure stress in tension. Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test. [1]

  6. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The strength of materials is determined using various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus ...

  7. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

    Some properties such as elongation, creep, cyclic flexing, tear strength, compression set, dielectric strength (at high voltage), thermal conductivity, fire resistance, and, in some cases, tensile strength can be—at extreme temperatures—far superior to organic rubbers in general, although a few of these properties are still lower than for ...

  8. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    The "rolling resistance coefficient" is defined by the following equation: [6] = where F {\displaystyle F} is the rolling resistance force (shown as R {\displaystyle R} in figure 1), C r r {\displaystyle C_{rr}} is the dimensionless rolling resistance coefficient or coefficient of rolling friction ( CRF ), and

  9. Archard equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archard_equation

    The Archard wear equation is a simple model used to describe sliding wear and is based on the theory of asperity contact. The Archard equation was developed much later than Reye's hypothesis [] (sometimes also known as energy dissipative hypothesis), though both came to the same physical conclusions, that the volume of the removed debris due to wear is proportional to the work done by friction ...
