One material property that is widely used and recognized is the strength of a material. But what does the word "strength" mean? "Strength" can have many meanings, so let us take a closer look at what ...

Intuitively, we know that a "simple" tensile test is the most fundamental of all mechanical property tests. It tells us how strong and how stiff a material is, and for most essentially isotropic ...

In my previous column on tensile testing (see "Unidirectional composite axial tensile specimens," under "Editor's Picks," at right), I referenced a commonly expressed concern by Hart-Smith 1 and ...

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 ...
