Stress is the tension/compression force per unit area.
Strain is the ratio of change of length to the original length, due to applied force.
Tension is the applied force which tends to elongate the body.

What is the difference between a stress strain curve and a load displacement curve?

a stress strain curve and a load displacement curve is pretty much the same thing, given the data is from the same specimen. its just the stress (force/area) is divided by a constant area and the strain (change in length/original length) is divided by a constant original length. therefore your curve would pretty much look the same as dividing by a constant will not change your graph. hope this explains your question


What is stress Strain?

Stress is the amount of force per unit area (N/mm2; lb/ft2) Strain is the unitless change in length resulting from the application of a force (movement in unit length / original unit length) Young's Modulus relates the two (stress / strain)


A stress that causes a material to fracture where the fracture opens or spreads apart is?

tension


Explain the difference between Euler and Rankine-Gordon formulas. Add also the graph.?

one fundamental difference: euler formula only considers failure due to buckling, while rankine-gordon also takes into effect the compressive stress.


What is the schmid factor?

The Schmid factor m is part of the equation for the critical resolved shear stress τ0. The critical resolved shear stress is the component of shear stress in a slip plane, resolved in the direction of slip, necessary to initiate slip in a grain (plastic deformation in metals). m = cos(κ)cos(λ) ; τ0 = mσ κ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip plane normal. λ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip direction. σ - the applied stress or load

What is the difference between tensile stress and breaking stress?

tensile stress is due to just the tension in the load whereas breaking stress can be due to breaking,shearing or compression!


What is the difference between the modulus of rigidity and modulus of elasticity?

We knew from Hook's law- "stress is proportional to strain." So, stress = k * strain [here, k is a constant] or, stress/strain= k Now, if the stress and strain occurs due to axial force then k is known as modulus of elasticity and it is denoted by E. if the stress and strain occurs due to shear force then k is known as modulus of rigidity and it is denoted by G.


What is hysteresis loop in stress and strain?

the leading or lagging between the stress and strain is called hysteresis loop


What is true stress and stain?

I'm assuming you mean the difference between true stress and engineering stress: Engineering stress is only accounting for the area given at the time before deformation. True stress accounts for the change in area that occurs as the material is stressed. If you stay in the elastic region, there will be almost no difference between the two.


What is the relation between elastic modulus and tensile modulus?

The elastic modulus, also called Young's modulus, is identical to the tensile modulus. It relates stress to strain when loaded in tension.


What is the difference between dynamic strain aging and strain aging?

Strain aging could be described as " normal wear and tear " or the fatigue that is experienced under normal conditions, whereas Dynamic strain would be an out of the normal range stress condition like a one time over stress condition where the sum of much strain aging is experienced in one " dynamic" occurrence.


What is the ratio between stress and strain called?

Young's modulus
