Universal Testing Machine
(UTM)
• Also known tensile machine/tester or
pull tester.
• A unidirectional force is applied to a
specimen in the tensile test by means of
the moveable crosshead.
• The cross-head movement can be
performed using screws or a hydraulic
mechanism.
Shear Stress
• Force tending to cause deformation of a material by
slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed
stress.

Torsion
• Torsion refers to the twisting of a structural member when it is
loaded by couples that produce rotation about the longitudinal
axis.
• Torsional forces produce a rotational motion about the
longitudinal axis of one end of the member relative to the other.
• Torque stress or shear stress, is the internal force that resists a
shaft or rod from twisting when a torque is applied.
• Angular deformation in torsion is the angular distortion of an
object caused by a twisting torque applied along the object's
longitudinal axis.
Hooke’s Law
• Discovered by the English scientist Robert
Hooke in 1660.
• For relatively small deformations of an
object, the displacement or size of the
deformation is directly proportional to the
deforming force or load.
• It gives the relationship between the force
applied to an unstretched spring and the
amount the spring is stretched.

Young’s Modulus (Modulus of
Elasticity)
• It is a fundamental property of materials that describes their
stiffness or resistance to deformation under stress.
• Measure of Stiffness: The higher the value, the stiffer the
material.
• Temperature Dependence: It is affected by temperature,
generally decreases as temperature increases.
• Applications: Engineering, Construction, and Aerospace.
Elastic Deformation
• It is the temporary change in shape of a material when a force is
applied, with the material returning to its original shape upon
the removal of the force.
• Anisotropy: Some materials exhibit different elastic deformation
properties depending on the direction of the applied force.
• Elastomers and shape memory metals such as nitinol exhibit
large elastic deformation ranges as does rubber. Elasticity is
nonlinear. Metals and ceramics show linear elasticity.
Elastic Deformation
• The elastic range ends when the material reaches its yield
strength.
• Elastic Limit: It only occurs up to a certain limit. Beyond this
point, the material will undergo permanent deformation (plastic
deformation).
Tangent or Secant Modulus
• The tangent modulus represents the
instantaneous stiffness of a material at a
specific point on the stress-strain curve.
• The secant modulus represents the
average stiffness of a material over a
range of strain.
Shear Modulus
• Shear modulus is the ratio of shear stress (force per
unit area) to shear strain (displacement at the edge).
• Also known as the modulus of rigidity.
• Applications: Structural Design and Manufacturing

Elastic Properties of
Materials
The ability of objects to regain their original shape and size
after deforming force is removed.
Poisson’s Ratio - measures the deformation in material in a direction
perpendicular to the direction of the applied force.
Transverse Strain
Axial Strain
Poisson’s Ratio
Poisson’s Ratio
Plastic Deformation
• It is a permanent change in the shape of a solid material that
occurs when the material is subjected to a sustained force that
exceeds its yield strength.
• Object in plastic deformation range will first have undergone
elastic deformation which is reversible so the object will partly
return to its original shape.
Plastic Deformation
• Soft thermoplastic materials have rather large plastic deformation
range as do ductile metals such as copper, silver, and gold.
• Hard thermosetting plastics, rubber and ceramics have minimal
plastic deformation ranges.
Tensile Properties
• Yielding - the stress level at which plastic deformation
begins.
• Proportional Limit - For metals that experience this
gradual elastic-plastic transition, the point of yielding
may be determined as the initial departure from
linearity of the stress-strain curve
Tensile Properties
• Yield strength - The stress corresponds to the
intersection of this line and the stress-strain curve
as it bends over in the plastic region.
• Tensile strength - The maximum stress a material
can withstand before it fractures or breaks.
Tensile Properties
Ductility
• It is a measure of the degree
of plastic deformation that
has been sustained at
fracture.
• A material that experiences
very little or no plastic
deformation upon fracture is
termed brittle.
Toughness Properties
• It is a measure of the ability of a material to absorb
energy up to fracture.
• It is the area under the σ e curve up to the point of
fracture.
• For a material to be tough, it must display both
strength and ductility.

True Strain
True Stress-Strain Curve
• For some metals and alloys the region of the true stress-strain
curve from the onset of plastic deformation to the point at
which necking begins may be approximated by:
True Stress-Strain Curve
• In this expression, K and n are constants and will depend on
the condition of the material.
• The parameter n is often termed the strain hardening
exponent and has a value less than unity.
• By plotting the log of stress-strain curve, you will get the
values for K and n.
True Stress-Strain Curve
• Measure of a material's resistance to localized plastic
deformation.
• Quantitative hardness techniques have been developed in
which a small indenter is forced into the surface of a material
to be tested.
• The depth or size of the resulting indentation is measured,
which in turn is related to a hardness number.
• The softer the material, the larger and deeper is the
indentation, and the lower the hardness index number.
