OVERVIEW OF MATERIALS
12. Strain: Ratio of change in length to the original length of the body. It has no unit
Tensile Strain
The ratio of change in length to the original length
Compressive Stress
When a body is subjected to equal & opposite pushes, then the length of the body is
shortened
Compressive Strain
The ratio of decrease in length to the original length
Shear Strain
the tangent of that angle and equal to the length of
deformation at its maximum divided by the
perpendicular length in the plane of force
Bending Moment
external force or moment is applied to the element causing the element to bend
Moment of inertia
quantitative measure of the rotational inertia of a body
• It has been observed that for an elastic materials, the lateral strain is
proportional to the longitudinal strain.
• For most engineering materials the value of μ is between 0.25 and 0.33.
Ultimate stress : the maximum stress that a material can withstand when a force is applied.
Yield stress : force needs to be applied to an object to cause it to change from elastic deformation to
plastic deformation.
