  2. Strain rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_rate

    The definition of strain rate was first introduced in 1867 by American metallurgist Jade LeCocq, who defined it as "the rate at which strain occurs. It is the time rate of change of strain." In physics the strain rate is generally defined as the derivative of the strain with respect to time. Its precise definition depends on how strain is measured.

  3. Fracture toughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_toughness

    Strain energy release rate per unit fracture surface area is calculated by J-integral method which is a contour path integral around the crack tip where the path begins and ends on either crack surfaces. J-toughness value signifies the resistance of the material in terms of amount of stress energy required for a crack to grow.

  4. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    Stress–strain analysis (or stress analysis) is an engineering discipline that uses many methods to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures subjected to forces. In continuum mechanics , stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other ...

  5. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus of a material can be used to calculate the force it exerts under specific strain. F = E A Δ L L 0 {\displaystyle F={\frac {EA\,\Delta L}{L_{0}}}} where F {\displaystyle F} is the force exerted by the material when contracted or stretched by Δ L {\displaystyle \Delta L} .

  6. Stress intensity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_intensity_factor

    If a very sharp crack, or a V-notch can be made in a material, the minimum value of can be empirically determined, which is the critical value of stress intensity required to propagate the crack. This critical value determined for mode I loading in plane strain is referred to as the critical fracture toughness ( K I c {\displaystyle K_{\mathrm ...

  7. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    The volumetric strain, also called bulk strain, is the relative variation of the volume, as arising from dilation or compression; it is the first strain invariant or trace of the tensor: = = = + + Actually, if we consider a cube with an edge length a, it is a quasi-cube after the deformation (the variations of the angles do not change the ...

  8. Gauge factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_factor

    The resistivity of these materials changes with strain, accounting for the / term of the defining equation above. In constantan strain gauges (the most commercially popular), the effect accounts for 20% of the gauge factor, but in silicon gauges, the contribution of the piezoresistive term is much larger than the geometric terms.

  9. J-integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-integral

    The J-integral represents a way to calculate the strain energy release rate, or work per unit fracture surface area, in a material. [1] The theoretical concept of J-integral was developed in 1967 by G. P. Cherepanov [2] and independently in 1968 by James R. Rice, [3] who showed that an energetic contour path integral (called J) was independent of the path around a crack.
