strain

EK263

Proportioning reinforced concrete structural members by ultimate-strength design is based on the following assumptions: Strain in concrete is the same as in reinforcing bars at the same level, provided that […]

EK244

The modulus of elasticity can be defined as the change of stress with respect to strain in the elastic range.

EK93

Assumptions of the Bernoulli-Euler theory of bending: The beam is bent by pure terminal couples so that shear and axial forces are not present. The deformations are small, so that […]

EK84

Increase in strain does not increase the stress beyond the value of the yield stress.

EK68

When the material of a structural component is stressed beyond its elastic limit, the stress will seize to be proportional to the strain, Hooke’s law will no longer apply, and […]

EK45

Let the beam be subjected to bending in the plane of symmetry. If the bending moment is small, the stress and the strain vary linearly across the section. When the […]

EK44

On the plastic approach the strain and stress are proportional to one another up to the yield stress at which the strain increases indefinitely without any further increase in stress.

EK36

Plane strain is defined by the case that the strain in one direction is completely restricted.
