Stress/strain curves are often acquired under constant strain-rate conditions. The force required to produce this deformation behavior is measured with the Load Cell and normalized to yield the ...

Note that the force and the displacement have been scaled respectively to stress (by dividing by the original cross-sectional area of the specimen) and to strain (by dividing by the original length).

Again, it is not always that simple. We need to understand the different meanings of “strength” or engineering stress. Let us discuss some of the important areas of the graph. First, the point on the ...

Figure 1: Mechanical data as a function of the crystal size (d) for Ti alloy micropillars 1 compared with the typical strength values ... large burst in the stress–strain curve.

In Part I, we learned how the 20% rule—stating that an air-bent radius forms as a percentage of the die opening—works well on ...

Muscle atrophy is a loss of muscle that leads to weakness, often caused by prolonged inactivity or certain medical conditions ...

To calculate the area between a curve and the \(x\)-axis we must evaluate using definite integrals. First, we need to find out where the curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. Remember, a curve cuts the \(x ...

The process for calculating the area between two curves is the same as finding the area between a curve and a straight line. Calculate the shaded area between the two curves below. \(y=x^{2}\) ...

The indicator is known as the inversion of the yield curve — the line plotted between US Treasury bond yields on different maturities, most usually between two- and 10-year issues. It normally ...

However, with the potential for political curve balls heading into the election, the BOJ may use overseas risks, such as a slowing U.S. economy, as an argument for not raising rates straight away.
