Stress is defined as the force per unit area. Thus, the formula for calculating stress is: Where σ denotes stress, F is load and A is the cross sectional area. The most commonly used units for stress ...

Tendons are designed to take tensile load, but excessive load can cause overuse tendinopathy. Overuse tendinopathy results in extensive changes to the cells and extracellular matrix, resulting in ...

A scientific study has revealed that lightweight volcanic aggregate can be used as a partial alternative to sand in concrete mixtures, helping to improve compressive, flexural, and tensile strength, ...

If you haven’t come across compressive sensing, you will do soon. It’s a way of sampling and reconstructing an analogue signal at a rate far lower than standard information theory would deem possible.

Compression testing is used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior ...

If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...
