Engineers have long used stress-strain curves to uncover a host of material properties. The curves are created by plotting the results of tensile strength tests of material samples, putting stress ...

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...

In Session 23 of the KLA Instruments Indentation University series, nanoindentation measurement of the yield stress-strain curve is demonstrated using the iMicro nanoindenter on Ti-6Al-4V, and ...

What is Young's Modulus? Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material. It quantifies the relationship between stress ...

Introduction to Mechanical Properties provides a thorough introduction to key mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness, ductility, and impact resistance. This class discusses how ...

Donald M. Burmister Papers, 1927-1974, Archives Center, National Museum of American History. Collection items available for reproduction, but the Archives Center makes no guarantees concerning ...

Design engineers with considerable experience in metals may overlook the effect creep can have on the long-term performance of a plastic part, particularly when applications involve high operating ...
