it also increases in the same proportion as stress. Stress equals strain times a constant, where the constant is Young's modulus. This is Hooke's Law

What happens to strain when stress is increased in a material?

It also increases. It increases linearly with stress in the elastic range, then increass more rapidly once the material is plastic ( yielded).


Why stress increased again after lower yield point?

hi dear, yes its true that stress increases after lower yield for ductile material. it happens due to reason of strain hardening. strain hardening is the property of the material with which the grain structures presents in the body forms bond between them. so in order to break that bonds, the stress increases after lower yield point..

Can stress exists without strain and vice versa. eg a heated bar held rigidly at both ends has no strain but there is stress?

Wherever there is stress there is strain. In the example you noted, if heated bar expands freely without one end constained it changes its strain without stress; that strain is called eigenstrain. If the same bar is held rigidly then the eigenstrain resisted and you get stress and strain. So stress cannot exist without strain; but strain can exist without stress if it is eigenstrain.


What is strain and stress?

stress is load per unit area; when an object is loaded it is under stress and strain and it stretches (strains) until it breaks at its ultimate strength. Stress i srelated to strain in the elastic region by Hooke's law: stress = elastic modulus times strain where modulus is a property of the material and strain is deflection over length


Is the ratio of stress-strain in the region below the proportional limit on the stress-strain curve?

stress is directly proportional to strain up to the proportional limit. Their ratio is young's modulus.


How do you calibrate strain gauges?

The strain gage indicates strain, and the stress is from Hooke's law; stress = modulus times strain so you need to know the modulus of elasticity


What are the Stress-strain characteristics of ductile materials?

initially there is the linear elastic region which obeys the hooks law :stress is directly proportional to the strain. at the end of the linear elastic region the ductile material reaches the yield point beyond which any change in dimensions become permanent. the material goes through a yield plateau in which stress is constant and the strain changes. after crossing the yield plateau the ductile material goes through the strain hardening region in which the deformation is permanent but as the region goes on the stress increases with the strain. here the strength of the ductile material increases as it is strain hardened. at a point it reaches the ultimate load point. This is the maximum load taken by the material. after which further deformation causes decrease in strength or the stress goes on decreasing finally breaking at the breaking load point. this region is called the post-ultimate region.


What is Secant Modulus?

The secant modulus is the total stress or strain on an object as described by a stress-strain graph. The tangent modulus is the marginal strain.


Which comes first either stress or strain in an object?

When you have stress you also have strain - stress cannot exist without strain, so they come at the same time You can have strain without stress - like expanding something under temperature in a free state. If the state is not free, then you have stress occurring at the same time.
