Metals are an integral part of our day to day life. We use a lot of products made of metals. Thousands types of metal grades are available. Selection of a material for an application is done according to our requirements and mechanical properties of a met ...
Mechanical properties of material defines material behavior under load conditions such as tension, compression and shear forces. These properties help in the selection of material during product and process design. For example to draw wire. We select a ma ...
When external force is applied to a rigid body. It changes its size and shape due to internal mechanical stress acting on it. This change in length is represented by strain. This article covers what is strain in mechanics? Types of strain and how Mechanic ...
Why do we need Stress Strain Curve? Parts or components in the real world have to withstand external forces during its lifetime. These external forces with defined factor of safety are considered during product design. Therefore new parts are designed ...
When an external force is applied to a body. It's length changes in the direction and perpendicular to the direction of the applied force. This effect is known as the Poisson effect. Poisson's Ratio is a property of a material that is used to calculate La ...
When an external force is applied to a rigid body. Internal resistive forces acting in the direction opposite to applied force resist any change in size and shape of the body. Due to mechanical stress or external forces a body changes its shape that is de ...
