EASL
Elongation at a specified load.
Eccentricity of Loading.
Distance between the actual line of action of compressive
or tensile loads and the line of action that would produce a
uniform stress over the cross section of the specimen.
Edge Tearing Strength.
Measure of the resistance of paper to tearing when
folded over a V-notch beam and loaded in a tensile test-
ing machine. Results are reported in lb or kg. (See Tear
Resistance.)
Elastic Hysteresis.
Difference between strain energy required to generate a
given stress in a material and elastic energy at that
stress. It is the energy dissipated as heat in a material in
one cycle of dynamic testing. Elastic hysteresis divided
by elastic deformation energy is equal to damping capac-
ity.
