Although engineering materials are normally used in their elastic range it is necessary to expose them to higher stresses if they are to be shaped into components. It is also necessary to know the ...

A general theory is formulated, in tensor notation, for the finite elastic deformation of curvilinearly aeolotropic materials which are subject to constraints, the aeolotropy and the system of ...

Such behavior is termed as yield flow behavior. When subjected to a force below the yield stress, the sample will undergo elastic deformation, whereas the sample will flow like a liquid when subjected ...

A research group has developed a bulk copper-based alloy boasting the largest tensile elastic strain at room temperature to date. Even when subjected to certain levels of stress, metals can spring ...

Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of materials under applied forces, covering both liquids and solids. It examines how materials respond to stress, strain or flow, revealing ...

Bend an object's ends, eg diver about to jump off a diving board. Pull an object's ends apart, eg when a rubber band is stretched. Push an object's ends together, eg when an empty drinks can is ...
