Properties of Steel:
1. Yield Stress, Fy
Unit tensile stress at which the stress strain curve exhibits a well
defined increase strain (deformation) without an increase in stress.
2. Ultimate Tensile Strength, Fu
Largest unit stress that the materials achieve in a tension test.
3. Modulus of Elasticity, E
The slope of the initial straight-line proportion of the stress strain
diagram, Esteel= 200,000 MPa
4. Ductility
Ability of the material to undergo large inelastic deformation without
failure
5. Toughness
Ability of the material to absorb energy and is characterized by the entire
area under a stress strain curve
6. Weldability
Ability of steel to be welded without changing its
mechanical properties
7. Poisson’s Ratio, µ
Ratio of the transverse strain to the longitudinal strain
8. Shear Modulus, G
Ratio of the shearing stress to shearing strain during
the elastic behavior. It is often called Modulus of Rigidity.
