The elasticity of a material is the measure of it's elastic properties, how bendable it is.

where as it's ultimate strenght is the force which you require to be able to break that material into 2

How does a tensiometer work?

for measuring strain to failure on semi rigid or elastomaterials A tensometer works with the principle of an expansive force being applied to the sample locked in the machine (tensometer). It offers integral values of force to be applied to the sample for eg by the modification of the pressure/unit area of a liquid such as mercury. It contains a medium for measurement of the extension produced (eg a drum plotter). The results of which can be used to calculate the stress, strain and hence the modulus of elasticity. it can also be used to determine the degree of a mechanical property of a material, eg the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength etc.


What is breaking stress?

Breaking stress is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand before it breaks. This is also known as ultimate tensile stress.


How do you calculate tensile strength of a ismc 100 channel?

the most effective way to find out is through Westermann Tables....the cross section area of all the standard mechanical manufacturing parts is given..channels.. angles etc....once you know the area and the UTS(ultimate tensile strength) of MS(mild steel)...you know the ans.... help yourself.


How can you show that plants are the ultimate source of energy?

plants are not the ultimate source of energy. It is the sun which is the ultimate source of energy to this planet


How do you calculate safe working load of a ship's bollard?

SWL = Ultimate (Breaking) Strength/Design (Safety) Factor Usually the safety factor used in lifting equipment is 5:1. Example: If you are using a 0.5" Improved Plow Wire Rope the ultimate strength is 11.5 tons. SWL = 11.5/5 = 2.3 tons The safety factor should go higher if there is possibility of injury or death. Example: Elevators use a 20:1 safety factor.

Ultimate tensile strength?

the maximum stress which the material can bear without breaking is called the maximum tensile strength of the material


What will happen to a material if the stress applied exceeds the ultimate strength?

hehe of course the material will be deform :)


How do you find ultimate strength of material?

By testing it in the lab until it fails.


What is the tensile strength of plywood?

It is the ultimate strength of a material subjected to tensile loading. In other words, it is the maximum stress developed in a material in a tension test.


What information might you get from stress-strain curve?

As a simple answer, from this curve the mechanical properties of the material can be found such as: Elasticity Modulus (E) which is the proportion of Stress to the Strain, the higher value means under a fixed value pressure the material oppose more to deflect. Reversely, the lower value shows that the material is more flexible. Other information such as Yield Strength, Ultimate Tensile Strength and also from the area below this curve the material toughness can be obtained.


Can the Yield strength of steel ever be greater than the Ultimate tensile strength?

The yield strength is reached when the material becomes non - linear ( that is non elastic) and takes a permanent set when load is released. Material stretches but does not break. Ultimate strength is when it breaks and is higher than yield strength.


What is the greatest stress that material can resist before breaking?

The greatest stress that a material can resist before breaking is called the ultimate tensile strength. It is the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand without breaking under tension. Different materials have different ultimate tensile strengths, and it is an important property to consider for designing and engineering structures.


Is ultimate flexural strength and moment of resistance the same in a reinforced section?

No the moment of resistance is a defining parameter that can be used to calculate the stress in a cross section of a given material that is subject to flexural loading. The ultimate flexural strength is a numerical value of stress at which the material will crack, tear, rip etc. Think about ultimate tensile strength and the value of Young's Modulus. Young's Modulus is not defined at the point of 'necking' and therefore the ultimate tensile strength cannot be computed from Young's Modulus and Hook's Law, but the UTS is an empirically defined value.


What is ultimate bending strength?

It is the maximum stress at which a material will fail when subject to flexural ( moment producing) bending loads. These stresses occur a the material outer fibers.


What will happen to a material if the stress exceeds the ultimate strength?

It will break or fail. The type of failure will depend on how brittle/ductile it is. Brittle material will break cleanly, while ductile material will deform to varying degrees.


What is the shear strength of anchor bolts?

Generally speaking, shear strength is 60% of the ultimate tensile strength of the anchor bolt. Please see the related link for more information as well as a table of common material strengths.


Stress strain curve for brittle material?

Brittle materials such as ceramics do not have a yield point. For these materials the rupture strength and the ultimate strength are the same, therefore the stress-strain curve would consist of only the elastic region, followed by a failure of the material.
