Understanding True Stress and True Strain

Did you know that the typical stress-strain curve obtained from a uniaxial tensile test is just an approximation? It doesn't consider the fact that the dimensions of the test specimen change throughout the duration of the tensile test.

In this video I cover the interesting topic of true stress and true strain.
