Topics in Mechanical Properties of Solids

1

Introduction to Elasticity and Plasticity

  • Real solids are not perfectly rigid - they can be deformed when sufficient force is applied
  • Elasticity: Property by which a body regains its original shape and size when deforming force is removed
  • Elastic deformation: Temporary change in shape that is recovered when force is removed
2

Stress and Strain

  • When a body is in static equilibrium under applied forces, it develops internal restoring forces
  • Stress = Restoring force per unit area
  • Three types of stress: Tensile/Compressive (longitudinal), Shearing (tangential), Hydraulic
3

Hooke's Law

  • For small deformations, stress is directly proportional to strain
  • This relationship is known as Hooke's law
  • Hooke's law is empirical and valid for most materials within elastic limit
4

Stress-Strain Curve

  • Graph plotted between stress (y-axis) and strain (x-axis) for a material
  • Region OA: Linear relationship, Hooke's law obeyed, elastic behavior
  • Point A: Proportional limit
