What is the graphical representation of the relationship between stress and strain?

• Stress-strain curve

• Force diagram

• Tension graph

• Deformation chart

Answer explanation

The graphical representation of the relationship between stress and strain for a material is called a stress-strain curve. This curve illustrates how a material responds to applied stress (force per unit area) by exhibiting strain (deformation) as a result. The stress-strain curve provides valuable information about the material's mechanical properties, such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and ductility. This data is crucial for designing and analyzing structures and components to ensure they can withstand the expected loads without failure.

• Newton's Law

• Hooke's Law

• Ohm's Law

• Boyle's Law
