The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

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 ...

Oscillation Amplitude Sweep The oscillatory stress or strain is increased in this method, and the resulting changes in the elastic modulus (G') or the elastic stress (σ') due to increasing amplitude ...

With a simple sample geometry, a 3-point-bend test can be used to obtain stress-strain behavior, elastic modulus in bending (flexural modulus), and failure limits in bending. The standards ASTM E855, ...

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 ...
