Witherite is a naturally occurring mineral that forms primarily in low-temperature hydrothermal environments. Visually, it is a relatively translucent mineral and comes in several color variations including colorless, milky-white, grey, pale-yellow and pale-brown. Witherite is named after the… View Full Term

Calculating and measuring tensile stresses are vital in predicting the behavior of various types of materials. Designers and engineers frequently use tensile parameters to select materials that meet specific the strength and performance parameters.
Understanding the 3 types of tensile strengths help determine how components will perform when...
Materials are made up of a wide variety of atomic structures. However, metals in particular almost always have their atoms organized in a crystalline...
The stress concentration factor (Kt) gives a clear indication of the amount of overstress at a specified location, which is used by engineers to determine the maximum expected stresses and make informed decisions.
For structural components exposed to fatigue conditions, designers must be concerned with both the strength and the toughness. Find out what the difference is between these two measurements.
