When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

The tensile behavior of composites is also different from that of metals in the 'plastic deformation' region of the stress/strain curve. The diagram shows the curve for a uniaxial sample tested along ...

It quantifies the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material in the linear elastic region of a stress-strain curve. A high Young's modulus ...

Push an object's ends together, eg when an empty drinks can is squashed. A rubber band undergoes elastic deformation when stretched a little. A metal drinks can undergoes inelastic deformation ...

In a paper published in Polymer Science & Technology, an international team of scientists explores an effective protocol for toughening vitrimers based on dioxaborolane metathesis through introducing ...
