STRESS-STRAIN DIAGRAM
• E represents the
constant of
proportionality, also
E called the modulus of
elasticity or Young’s
modulus
• E has units of stress, i.e.,
pascals, MPa or GPa.
MODULUS OF TOUGHNESS
Modulus of resilience
• When stress reaches
proportional limit, strain-
energy-energy density is
called modulus of resilience
• A material’s resilience
represents its ability to
absorb energy without any
permanent damage
MODULUS OF TOUGHNESS
• Modulus of
toughness ut, indicates
the strain-energy
density of material
before it fractures
• Shaded area under
stress-strain diagram is
the modulus of
toughness
POISSON’S RATIO
• When body subjected to axial tensile force, it elongates
and contracts laterally
• Similarly, it will contract and its sides expand laterally
when subjected to an axial compressive force
POISSON’S RATIO
SHEAR STRESS
G is shear modulus
of elasticity or
modulus of rigidity
