Describe what is occurring on an atomic level as a material is elastically deformed.

Distinguish between engineering stress and true stress.

Compute the elastic modulus from a stress-strain diagram.

Distinguish which metal is stronger if the stress-strain diagram is given.

Define Poisson’s ratio, and describe the typical value range of Poisson’s ratio for metals.

Explain why engineering stress is decreased with increasing the engineering strain past the tensile strength point as it relates to a given stress-strain diagram.
