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 ...

Did you know that the typical stress-strain curve obtained from a uniaxial tensile test is just an approximation? It doesn't consider the fact that the dimensions of the test specimen change ...

The stress-strain diagram opposite shows the response of a material to a uniaxial tensile stress over the full range to material fracture. This test was conducted by controlling the strain-rate and ...

a tensile silicon nitride cap is deposited on top of the transistor to induce uniaxial tensile strain in the silicon channel and improve electron mobility. Recently the combined benefits of the ...

If the Poisson's ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...
