  2. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Yield strength is the lowest stress that produces a permanent deformation in a material. In some materials, like aluminium alloys, the point of yielding is difficult to identify, thus it is usually defined as the stress required to cause 0.2% plastic strain. This is called a 0.2% proof stress. [5]

  3. Ramberg–Osgood relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramberg–Osgood_relationship

    The Ramberg–Osgood equation was created to describe the nonlinear relationship between stress and strain—that is, the stress–strain curve—in materials near their yield points. It is especially applicable to metals that harden with plastic deformation (see work hardening ), showing a smooth elastic-plastic transition.

  4. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Offset yield point (proof stress) When a yield point is not easily defined on the basis of the shape of the stress-strain curve an offset yield point is arbitrarily defined. The value for this is commonly set at 0.1% or 0.2% plastic strain. [ 14 ]

  5. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mechanics, strain is defined as relative deformation, compared to a reference position configuration. Different equivalent choices may be made for the expression of a strain field depending on whether it is defined with respect to the initial or the final configuration of the body and on whether the metric tensor or its dual is considered.

  6. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    The stress is proportional to the strain, that is, obeys the general Hooke's law, and the slope is Young's modulus. In this region, the material undergoes only elastic deformation. The end of the stage is the initiation point of plastic deformation. The stress component of this point is defined as yield strength (or upper yield point, UYP for ...

    Methods based on solution of adjoint equations are used in wing shape optimization, fluid flow control and uncertainty quantification. For example d X t = a ( X t ) d t + b ( X t ) d W {\displaystyle dX_{t}=a(X_{t})dt+b(X_{t})dW} this is an Itō stochastic differential equation.

  8. Ultimate tensile strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength

    The reversal point is the maximum stress on the engineering stress–strain curve, and the engineering stress coordinate of this point is the ultimate tensile strength, given by point 1. Ultimate tensile strength is not used in the design of ductile static members because design practices dictate the use of the yield stress. It is, however ...

  9. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    If the stress exceeds a critical value, as was mentioned above, the material will undergo plastic, or irreversible, deformation. This critical stress can be tensile or compressive. The Tresca and the von Mises criteria are commonly used to determine whether a material has yielded. However, these criteria have proved inadequate for a large range ...
