The mechanical properties of metals are dependent on their microstructure and heat treatment whereas for ceramics, they are dependent on the amount of residual pores and grain size.
YSZ, yttria‐stabilized zirconia (3 mol% Y2O3); ZTA, alumina matrix composite containing 15−20 vol% tetragonal ZrO2 particles; UHMWPE, Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene; PMMA, polymethyl methacrylate.
a CP, commercial purity.
b ASTM designation.
c Strength increases but elongation to failure decreases from Grade 1 to Grade 4.
//, parallel to long direction.
⊥, perpendicular to long direction.
The negative sign is included because most materials contract in the direction perpendicular to a tensile stress, that is, the strain in the lateral direction is opposite in sign to the strain in the tensile direction. Consequently, ν is positive for most materials. Values for the Poisson’s ratio for the majority of materials are in the range ~0.25–0.40.
There are other forms of elastic behavior, although the stress versus strain curve is not a straight line or the unloading part of the curve does not follow the same path as the loading part. Polymers show elastic behavior
