Mechanical Properties
Stress-Strain Relation
There are ductile and brittle materials. The stress-strain
relations of a typical ductile material (e.g., steel) and a
typical brittle material (e.g., ceramic and concrete) are
shown below:
Ductile Material: warning before failure Brittle Material: no warning before failure

Mechanical Properties
Normal Stress
Tension Test
Moduli
Modulus of Elasticity (E): slope of the initial straight-
line portion of the stress-strain diagram obtained in
tension or compression test.
It is also called Young’s Modulus or Elastic Modulus.
Normal Strain
Shear Stress
Direct Shear Test
Modulus of Rigidity (G): slope of the initial straight-
line portion of the stress-strain diagram obtained in
direct shear test.
It is also called Shear Modulus.

Mechanical Properties
Hooke’s Law
Normal Stress
The stress is proportional to strain in a solid body
with a linear behavior.
Normal Strain
Note: The Hooke’s Law is valid only if the material remains in linear region of
the stress-strain curve. Such materials are called linear materials in mechanics.
If load is so high that the induced stress passes the yield point, the Hooke’s law
is no longer valid.
In Mechanics of Materials, we assume all materials are linear.

Mechanical Properties
Poisson’s ratio ( )
o If a solid body is subjected to an axial tension,
it contracts in the lateral directions.
o If a solid body is compressed, it expands in
the lateral direction.
