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 ...

Texture Analyzers are very often used for quality control of irregular products by the use of empirical measurements. The force required to crush a tablet or the distance a biscuit bends before it ...

This class discusses how shear, compression, and tensile stress impact a material's properties, how force is shown on a stress-strain graph, and common methods manufacturers use to test a material's ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...
