A
stress strain curve may be created using data from any tensile testing in which a load is applied to a
material and continuous measurements of stress and strain are taken at the same time. In basic terms,
strain is a mathematical number that measures a body's deformation. There are some normal strains,
which describes dimensional changes, and shear strain, which defines deformation. Stress and strain are
two important elements in material mechanics.
We may obtain from this the well-known connection, initially proposed by Robert Hooke in 1678, that
stress is proportional to strain. Notice carefully that this proportionality does not extend throughout the
diagram; it ends at the proportional limit. Beyond this point, the stress is no longer proportional to the
strain.
Stress-strain diagrams of various materials vary widely, and different tensile test conducted on the same
material may yield different results, depending upon the temperature of the specimen and the speed of
loading. It is possible, however, to distinguish some common characteristics among the stress-strain
diagrams of various groups of materials and to divide materials into broad categories on the basis of
these characteristics, namely the ductile and brittle materials.
The stress strain curve of concrete is a geometric description of the movement of concrete under load. It
is created by graphing concrete compress strain at different intervals of concrete compressive loads
(stress). Because concrete is usually utilized under compression, the compressive stress strain curve is
quite important
True stress and true strain are the stress and strain values estimated from these data, and the true
stress-strain diagram is a representation of these values. Another type of figure is a conventional stress-
strain diagram, in which the ordinate represents the stress and the abscissa represents the strain. This
diagram is very important in engineering since it provides the means for obtaining data about a
material’s tensile (or compressive) strength without regard for the material’s physical size or shape, i.e.,
its geometry.
The characteristics of the conventional stress-strain curve as it pertains to steel, a commonly used
material for fabricating both structural members and mechanical elements. In conventional stress-strain
diagram, using the recorded data, we can determine the nominal or engineering stress by dividing the
applied load P by the specimen’s original cross-sectional area.
The yield point is selected as the basis for determining working stress in structural steel because it is the
stress at which a prohibitively large permanent set may occur.
Several metals, such as brass, molybdenum, and zinc, can demonstrate ductile stress-strain behavior
similar to steel, in which they observe elastic stress-strain behavior, yielding under constant stress,
strain hardening, and eventually necking till breaking.
A stress strain diagram or stress strain curve is used to represent the connection between stress and
strain in a material. A stress strain curve may be created using data from any tensile testing in which a
load is applied to a material and continuous measurements of stress and strain are taken at the same
time.
