include the following: the elastic modulus, 0.2% offset yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, modulus of rupture, modulus of resilience, as well as true strain and true stress at the point of rupture. Theory: Certain materials (those that are linear, homogeneous, elastic, and isotropic) can be described by their material properties. These properties include the modulus of elasticity, modulus of toughness, modulus of resilience, ultimate tensile strength, and yield strength. Once established

energy functions for incompressible materials Neo-Hookean model The neo-Hookean model is one of the simplest strain energy functions. It involves a single parameter and provides a mathematically simple and reliable constitutive model for the non-linear deformation behavior of isotropic rubber-like materials. Its strain energy function is W= µ (I1 − 3), 2 (2.1) where µ > 0 is the shear modulus for infinitesimal deformations. The neo-Hookean model comes out of the molecular theory, in

Applied Econometrics BE5103 Tutorial 1 Q1 a) In the simple OLS regression estimation it is not possible that all actual independent Yi values lie above the estimated regression line. This is because OLS minimizes SUM ê2 , the residual , ê, is the difference between the actual Yi and the predicted Yi and has zero mean. In other words, OLS calculates the slope coefficient so that the difference between the predicted Yi and actual Yi is minimized. The OLS estimates of the βs: Are unbiased – the

Assignment 1: Making Decisions Based on Demand and Forecasting Managerial Economics and Globalization, ECO550 Making Decisions Based on Demand and Forecasting A market demand analysis is used to help understand how much consumer demand there is for a given product or service. This type of analysis will help determine if a business can successfully enter a market and generate enough revenue and profit to maintain the business. One must identify the market and the growth
