When we reach point 3, we can determine the tensile strength or maximum stress (or load) the material can support. It is not a very useful property, since the material has permanently deformed at this ...

All materials behave in an elastic manner and the application of a load will cause the length of the element to change. If the uniaxial tensile load is too large the material may fracture of develop a ...

Tendons are designed to take tensile load, but excessive load can cause overuse tendinopathy. Overuse tendinopathy results in extensive changes to the cells and extracellular matrix, resulting in ...

Chapters show how multi scale modeling is used to relate concrete composition to tensile properties. Part two focuses on dynamic response and starts with an introduction to the different regimes of ...
