• This chapter examines the effects of external forces on the behavior of materials, and the test methods employed in determining mechanical properties.
• The tension test, described first, is commonly used for quantifying a number of material parameters, including elastic modulus, yield stress, ultimate strength, ductility, and toughness. ...
