Hooke's Law:
``` Stress = Elasticity Modulus × Strain ```
Definitions:
- Stress: Force per unit area (N/m²) - Elasticity Modulus: Material property that describes how stiff a material is (N/m²) - Strain: Fractional change in length (dimensionless)
Types of Elasticity Moduli:
- Young's Modulus (E): For tensile or compressive stress in the same direction as the applied force - Shear Modulus (G): For shear stress perpendicular to the applied force - Bulk Modulus (K): For isotropic stress in all directions
Other Elastic Properties:
- Poisson's Ratio (ν): Ratio of transverse strain to axial strain under uniaxial stress - Elastic Limit: Maximum stress that a material can withstand without permanent deformation
Applications:
Elasticity principles are used in various fields, including:
- Engineering: Design and analysis of structures, bridges, and machines - Materials Science: Characterization and testing of materials - Biomechanics: Study of mechanical forces on biological tissues - Fluid Dynamics: Understanding the behavior of fluids under stress - Geophysics: Analysis of Earth's crustal movement
Example:
Consider a steel rod with a cross-sectional area of 1 cm² and a length of 1 meter. When a force of 10,000 N is applied to the rod, it elongates by 0.1 mm.
