Corrosion engineering

Shear strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The stress required to produce fracture in the plane of cross section, the conditions of loading being such that the directions of force and of resistance are parallel and opposite although their ...

Microstructure

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The structure of a prepared surface of a metal as revealed by a microscope at a magnification exceeding 25x.

Creep-rupture strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The stress that will cause fracture in a creep test at a given time in a specified constant environment. Also called stress-rupture strength.

Plane stress

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The stress condition in linear elastic fracture mechanics in which the stress in the thickness direction is zero; most nearly achieved in loading very thin sheet along a direction parallel to the ...

The stress condition in linear elastic fracture mechanics in which there is zero strain in a direction normal to both the axis of applied tensile stress and the direction of crack growth (that is, ...
