Stress–strain curve
CURVE WHICH REPRESENTS THE DEFORMATION CAUSED BY A FORCE
Yield curve (physics); True stress; Stress-strain relations; Stress-strain curve; Stress and strain; Stress strain curve
In engineering and materials science, a stress–strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined (see tensile testing).
