Important Questions from Mechanical Properties of Solids
Which of the following statements about strain are correct?
Show answer
Strain is dimensionless, Strain has units of m/m, Strain = Change in dimension/Original dimension, Strain is a ratio of similar quantities
Strain is the ratio of change in dimension to original dimension. Since both quantities have the same units (length), strain is dimensionless. It's a geometric property independent of material type.
Young's modulus is related to which type of deformation?
Show answer
Change in length
Young's modulus (Y) is the ratio of longitudinal stress to longitudinal strain. It measures the resistance of a material to change in length under tensile or compressive forces.
Which of the following are types of stress?
Show answer
Tensile stress, Compressive stress, Shearing stress, Volume stress
The three main types of stress are: 1) Tensile/Compressive stress (change in length), 2) Volume/Hydraulic stress (change in volume), and 3) Shearing stress (change in shape). Linear stress is not a standard classification.
The modulus of elasticity for change in volume is called:
Show answer
Bulk modulus
Bulk modulus (K) is the ratio of volume stress to volume strain. It measures the resistance of a material to uniform compression from all sides, causing change in volume.
