Some materials have a non-linear relationship between stress and strain, a behavior exhibited by materials such as a rubber. These are nonlinear elastic materials for which the slope of the ...

The diagrams opposite show stress-strain curves for a linear elastic material such as a metal (top) and a non-linear elastic material such as rubber (bottom). If these materials are taken to some ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

In honor of this year's Charles Goodyear Medal winner, the ACS Rubber Division will host a special symposium March 6, ...
