A simple formula is suggested for describing the stress-strain curve in terms of three parameters; namely, Young's modulus and two secant yield strengths. Dimensionless charts are derived from this formula for determining the stress-strain curve, the tangent modulus, and the reduced modulus of a material for which these three parameters are given. Comparison with the tensile and compressive data on aluminum-alloy, stainless-steel, and carbon-steel sheet in NACA Technical Note No. 840 indicates that the formula is adequate for most of these materials. The formula does not describe the behavior of alclad sheet, which shows a marked change in slope at low stress. It seems probable that more than three parameters will be necessary to represent such stress-strain curves adequately.read more

A new constraint based fracture criterion for surface cracks
TL;DR: In this article, a new methodology for predicting the location of maximum crack extension along a surface crack front in ductile materials is presented, based on the average opening stress in the crack tip plastic zone and the J-integral distributions along the crack front for many surface crack configurations.

TL;DR: In this article, an inverse problem solving approach using finite element method (FEM) with the consideration of the Ramberg-Osgood model was used to determine the stress-strain relationship for individual sand grains.
