Steel Stress-Strain Diagram Guide

This document discusses key concepts in stress-strain diagrams for steel materials. It covers: 1) The different types of deformation steel can undergo, including temporary changes from plastic flow and permanent changes from molecular bond breaking and reforming. 2) The ranges where steel exhibits temporary versus permanent changes in response to stress. 3) The various stress points and limits on stress-strain diagrams, including yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, working stress, and allowable unit stress.

S T R E S S S T R A I N D I A G R A M (STEEL)

A. DEFORMATION
1) A.k.a. plastic flow
2) Temporary change.
3) The molecular bonds in a material rupture.
4) The molecular bonds in a material reform.
5) Permanent change.
6) The breaking of a material.
B. RANGE
1) The range where a material exhibits a temporary change.
2) The range where a material exhibits a permanent change.
C. STRESS(ES)/ POINTS/ LIMITS
1) The maximum tensile, compressive or shearing stress a material can
bear without rupturing.
2) A point that signals that the steel is failing.
3) A.k.a allowable unit stress
4) At this point, the material continuously deform even if no force is
applied (to the material).
5) A.k.a proof stress
6) Beyond this point, stress : strain ratio for a material no longer remains
constant
7) Point or points indicating that a material can be used safely.
8) A.k.a working stress
9) The stress necessary to produce a specified inelastic strain in a
material.
10) Stress used to determine the limit of usefulness of a material.
11) This stress is specified by building codes, engineering societies and
trade associations based on specifications and methods of testing
established by ASTM.
D. PROPERTIES
1) Abrupt rupturing of a material
2) Resistant to change
3) Ability of a material to stretch without getting damaged
4) Ability of a material to be beaten to sheets
5) Enables a material to recover to its original size and shape
6) Enables a material to absorb energy before rupturing
