1 Chapter 6: Mechanical Properties Elastic behavior: When loads are small, how much deformation occurs? What materials deform least? Stress and strain: What are they and why are they used instead of load and deformation? Plastic behavior: At what point does permanent deformation occur? What materials are most resistant to permanent deformation? Toughness and ductility: What are they and how do we measure them? Chapter 6-1

21 Summary Stress and strain: These are size-independent measures of load and displacement, respectively. Elastic behavior: This reversible behavior often shows a linear relation between stress and strain. To minimize deformation, select a material with a large elastic modulus (E or G). Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive) uniaxial stress reaches σ y. Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit volume of material. Ductility: The plastic strain at failure. Chapter 6-21
