ISSUES TO ADDRESS...
• Stress and strain: What are they and why are they used instead of load and deformation?
• Elastic behavior: When loads are small, how much deformation occurs? What materials deform least?
• 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?

Stress and Strain
Stress: Force per unit area arising from applied load.
Tension, compression, shear, torsion or any combination.
Stress = σ = force/area
Strain: ε – physical deformation response of amaterial to stress, e.g., elongation.

• Yield-point phenomenon occurs when elastic plastic transition is abrupt.
Yield Points and σYS
For steels, take the avg. stress of lower yield point since less sensitive to testing methods.
No offset method required.
• In steels, this effect is seen when dislocations start to move and unbind for interstitial solute.
• Lower yield point taken as σY.
• Jagged curve at lower yield point occurs when solute binds dislocation and dislocation unbinding again, until work-hardening begins to occur.

• Unloading in step 2 allows elastic strain to be recovered from bonds.• Reloading leads to higher YS, due to work-hardening already done

Hardness• Resistance to permanently indenting the surface.• Large hardness means: --resistance to plastic deformation or cracking in compression. --better wear properties.

• 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).
• Toughness: The energy needed to break a unit volume of material.
• Ductility: The plastic strain at failure.
Summary
• Plastic behavior: This permanent deformation behavior occurs when the tensile (or compressive) uniaxial stress reaches y.
