Abstract
The subject of material science dealing with the macroscopic stress-strain behavior of engineering is generally called the “mechanical properties of materials.” In addition to solid state physics, an understanding of macroscopic mechanical properties is necessary in both the evaluation and improvement of material properties. Furthermore, these mechanical properties and the associated engineering theories defining stress-strain behavior still represent the only scientific basis for engineering design. This paper reviews recent developments in this field. New engineering theories for expressing the stress-strain behavior of materials under various environments are also considered. The paper does not attempt to outline the entire field, but the essential information on mechanical properties is briefly covered. Some areas of research on the experimental and theoretical macroscopic aspect of material science needing exploration are also indicated. In these evaluations, theories predicting the stress-strain relations for combined states of stress from uniaxial stress-strain relations are also summarized. Because of space limitations, this paper is restricted to static properties of materials, and dynamic loading conditions are excluded.
