"The field of strength of materials (also called mechanics of materials)"
The study of how materials withstand applied force.
Stress: It is the force that acts on a material per unit area to deform it.
Strain: It is the deformation of a material per unit length that occurs due to the application of stress.
Tensile strength: It is the maximum stress that a material can withstand before it fails due to tensile loading.
Compressive strength: It is the maximum stress that a material can tolerate before it fails due to compressive loading.
Shear strength: It is the maximum stress that a material can bear before it fails due to shear loading.
Elasticity: It is the property of a material to regain its original shape and size after the removal of the force applied to it.
Plasticity: It is the property of a material to undergo permanent deformation without breaking.
Poisson's ratio: It is a measure of the lateral contraction or expansion of a material when subjected to a longitudinal tensile or compressive stress.
Yield strength: It is the stress at which permanent deformation starts to occur in a material.
Stress-strain curve: It is a graphical representation of the relationship between stress and strain in a material.
Modulus of elasticity: It is a measure of a material's stiffness or resistance to deformation along an axis when stress is applied along that axis.
Fatigue strength: It is a measure of a material's ability to resist failure due to repeated loading and unloading.
Creep strength: It is a measure of a material's ability to resist deformation under a continuous load over time.
Failure analysis: It is the process of identifying the cause and mechanism of failure of a material or component.
Fracture mechanics: It is the study of the behavior of cracks and other defects in materials and structures under stress.
Structural analysis: It is the process of analyzing the behavior of structures and components under different loads and conditions.
Buckling: It is the sudden failure of a material or structure due to compressive loading.
Stiffness: It is the resistance of a material or structure to deformation under a load.
Shear modulus: It is a measure of a material's resistance to shear deformation.
Bending moment: It is the moment or torque that exists in a beam or structure when subjected to a bending load.
Tensile Strength: The maximum stress a material can withstand before it breaks when subjected to tensile loading.
Compressive Strength: The maximum stress a material can withstand before it breaks when subjected to compressive loading.
Shear Strength: The maximum stress a material can withstand before it breaks when subjected to a shear force.
Bending Strength: The maximum stress a material can withstand before it fails when subjected to a bending load.
Flexural Strength: The ability of a material to resist deformation when subjected to a bending load.
Fatigue Strength: The resistance of a material to failure under cyclic loading, when subjected to a varying stress amplitude.
Impact Strength: The ability of a material to absorb energy when subjected to a sudden impact or shock.
Torsional Strength: The maximum stress a material can withstand before it fails when subjected to a torsional load.
Hardness: The ability of a material to resist deformation or wear due to an applied force.
Ductility: The ability of a material to deform under tensile stress without breaking.
Malleability: The ability of a material to deform under compressive stress without breaking.
Toughness: The ability of a material to resist fracture or failure under extreme conditions such as shock loading or high stress.
Creep Strength: The ability of a material to resist deformation under a constant load over a long period of time.
Yield Strength: The stress at which plastic deformation of a material begins.
Ultimate Strength: The maximum stress a material can withstand before it fails or breaks.
