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

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.


How to calculate strain energy in a material?

To calculate strain energy in a material, you can use the formula: Strain Energy 0.5 x Stress x Strain. Stress is the force applied to the material, and strain is the resulting deformation. Multiply stress and strain, then divide by 2 to find the strain energy.


How to calculate strain from stress?

To calculate strain from stress, you can use the formula: Strain Stress / Young's Modulus. Stress is the force applied to an object, while Young's Modulus is a measure of the stiffness of the material. By dividing the stress by the Young's Modulus, you can determine the strain, which is the amount of deformation the material undergoes in response to the stress.


How to find strain from stress in a material?

To find strain from stress in a material, you can use the formula: Strain Stress / Young's Modulus. Young's Modulus is a measure of the stiffness of a material. By dividing the stress applied to the material by its Young's Modulus, you can calculate the resulting strain.


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 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.


How can one calculate strain from stress in a material?

To calculate strain from stress in a material, you can use the formula: Strain Stress / Young's Modulus. Stress is the force applied to the material, and Young's Modulus is a measure of the material's stiffness. By dividing the stress by the Young's Modulus, you can determine the amount of deformation or strain the material undergoes under the applied stress.


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.


What is hysteresis loop in stress and strain?

the leading or lagging between the stress and strain is called hysteresis loop
