Figure 2.14 represents a typical stress–strain curve. e shape and consequently the behavior
of the material will vary according to the material characteristics. Over the linear portion of
the curve, Hooke’s law or Young’s modulus, is given by

where
E is used for normal stress and strain
G is used for shearing stress and strain
Young’s modulus is also known as the modulus of elasticity.
e stress–strain curve can be used to characterize the strength characteristics of the
material. Engineering materials made of metals are generally classied as either ductile or
brittle. Ductile materials have ...
