Material testing and stress–strain analysis

Virtual tensile tests on steel and magnesium alloy (MgAZ31), with stress–strain curves comparing steel, glass epoxy, and ABS.

Tensile testingMaterial properties

Virtual tensile test machine with force–displacement curve for a steel sample — Tensile test — steel, force vs displacement

Virtual tensile test machine with force–displacement curve for a MgAZ31 magnesium alloy sample — Tensile test — MgAZ31 magnesium alloy

Stress–strain curve for steel with ultimate stress of 1303.97 MPa at strain 0.1030 — Steel — ultimate stress 1303.97 MPa at 0.103 strain

Stress–strain curve for glass epoxy with ultimate stress of 323.63 MPa at strain 0.0262 — Glass epoxy — ultimate stress 323.63 MPa, brittle failure

Comparative stress–strain curves for ABS, glass epoxy, and steel — Comparison — ABS vs glass epoxy vs steel
