When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

The diagrams opposite show stress-strain curves for a linear elastic material such as a metal (top) and a non-linear elastic material such as rubber (bottom). If these materials are taken to some ...

She will also elucidate the mechanical characterization of viscoelastic materials, employing shear oscillatory rheology techniques in both the linear and nonlinear regions. Register now to gain a ...
