The Stress‐Strain Characteristics of a Magnesium Alloy Beam: Behaviour when Electrically and Plastically Deformed by a Uniform Bending Moment at Room Temperature

Abstract

THE work described in this paper was undertaken to investigate the behaviour of a magnesium alloy beam clastically and plastically deformed by a uniform bending moment at room temperature. The object of the work was to obtain relations between stresses and strains in the beam, to afford a basis for design, in cases where it is required to submit magnesium alloy structures to bending stresses exceeding the elastic limit.
