For transverse loading of the composite, the components experience the same stress and for this isostress situation the total transverse strain of the composite is just the sum of the fiber strain and ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

The Model 3442AVG is an all-purpose averaging axial extensometer which is used in compression or tension in order to measure Young’s modulus, offset yield, and strain to failure. It is both ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...
