1. How do we measure and assess performance of mechanical elements?

normalize force and length:
stress () = force / cross sectional areastrain () = change in length / total length
Force
Units:
Stress: force per unit area (M T-2 L-1) SI unit = Pascal (newton per square meter)
Strain: length per unit length (dimensionless!) typically given in percent: e.g. 50 mm increase in length of 1 meter structure is a strain of + 5%.

many important material properties are derived from stress-strain plot:

e.g. substance X has a modulus of 750 Pa.

extensibility= strain at failure(‘breaking strain’)

e.g. substance X has a strength of 25 kPa and an extensibility of 7%.

Work = force dx
Thus, area understress-strain curveis a form of normalizedwork.

Toughness fits best our intuition of ‘strength’.

Engineering units
But…what if strain is large?Area will decrease and we will underestimate stress.
True units:
stress () = F / A () strain () = ln ( L / L 0)
strain () = dL = ln ( L / L 0)
