It is used to predict the behavior of materials used in a given application. The stress-strain graph provides engineers and designers a graphical measure of the strength and elasticity of a material. It allows them to predict the behavior of materials used in a given application. To draw the graph, the material must first undergo a tensile test. A tensile test is the simplest and most widely implemented mechanical test. In it, a rod composed of the material … Continue reading What Is The Stress-Strain Curve?
