STRESS–STRAIN BEHAVIOR
• The degree to which a structure deforms or strains depends on
the magnitude of an imposed stress.
• For most metals that are stressed in tension and at relatively
low levels,
• Shear stress and strain are proportional to each other through the
expression
G is the shear modulus, the slope of the linear elastic region of the
shear stress–strain curve.

For those materials having a
nonlinear elastic region, use of
the strain offset method is not
possible, and the usual practice
is to define the yield strength
as the stress required to
produce some amount of strain
(e.g., 0.005).

• Resistance to permanently indenting the surface.
• Large hardness means:
--resistance to plastic deformation or cracking in
compression.
--better wear properties.

Summary
• Stress and strain: These are size-independent
measures of load and displacement, respectively.
• Elastic behavior: This reversible behavior often
shows a linear relation between stress and strain.
To minimize deformation, select a material with a
large elastic modulus (E or G).
• Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation
behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive)
uniaxial stress reaches y.
• Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit
volume of material.
• Ductility: The plastic strain at failure.

• Material, geometric, and loading parameters all
contribute to deflection.
• Larger elastic moduli minimize elastic deflection.
