Stress is a measure of the distribution of internal forces that develop within a body to resist these applied loads. There are two main types of stress - normal stress, which acts perpendicular to a ...

Did you know that the typical stress-strain curve obtained from a uniaxial tensile test is just an approximation? It doesn't consider the fact that the dimensions of the test specimen change ...

To explain these features of strain-induced crystallization consistently with earlier theories, 13, 16, 17 the primitive mechanical model by James and Guth, 18 which assumes elastically effective ...

New research shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties. New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals ...
