What to Focus On

  • Deforming force produces deformation.
  • Elasticity is the ability to regain original shape and size after force removal.
  • Perfectly elastic, perfectly plastic, and rigid are idealised categories.

  • Stress is force per unit area.
  • Strain is unitless because it is a ratio.
  • Hooke's law is valid for small strain.

  • O to A is the linear region.
  • Elastic limit is at B.
  • Yield point is C.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Stress and strain mean the same thing.

Elastic limit and limit of proportionality are the same point on the stress-strain graph.

Hooke's law is valid for all deformation.
