Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Mechanical Properties of Solids after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Elasticity: Regains original shape and size after force removal.
  • Plasticity: Retains deformed shape permanently.
  • No material is perfectly elastic or plastic.
  • Matter is made of molecules with inter-molecular forces.
  • At equilibrium separation (R₀), net force is zero.
  • R > R₀: Attractive force; R < R₀: Repulsive force.
  • Deformation changes inter-atomic distances.
  • Restoring forces develop due to inter-atomic forces.
  • Atoms return to equilibrium positions in elastic materials.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rubber is more elastic than steel because it stretches more.

Stress and pressure are the same because both are force per unit area.

Strain has units because it's a measurement of extension.

Memory Tips

Definition of Elasticity

Stress = Force / Area

Three Types of Stress: Longitudinal, Normal, Shearing

Longitudinal Stress – Tensile and Compressive
