linear

EK431

The response of the beam remains linear and elastic almost to the stage when the stress in the extreme fibre has reached the value of the yield stress. From there […]

EK129

The steel remains elastic while in linear range, and recovers perfectly on unloading. The limit of the linear elastic behaviour is often closely approximated by the yield stress. Beyond this […]

EK128

Initially the steel has a linear stress-strain curve whose slope is the Young’s modulus of elasticity.

EK16

For structures that behave in a linear manner, the principle of superposition can be applied. This principle refers to the fact that a superposition of effects from several load systems […]
