Ch. 3 - Mechanical Properties
GENENG 2340
Mechanics of Materials
,When stress is applied,
how does the material
respond in strain?
,Learning Outcomes
✓ Understand how to measure stress and strain
through experiments.
✓ Explain the relation between engineering vs. true
stress-strain.
✓ Determine elastic modulus and related elastic
constants.
, Tension and Compression Test
One of the most important tests for
material strength is the tension test.
