Principles of Material behaviour

The samples on the left represent five idealised types of material behaviour.

Click on any one of the samples to transfer it into the load frame.

Click on the green, white or red button on the load frame to load, stop or unload the sample.

Use the results to identify the the types of behaviour shown below.
