Study Notes
Elasticity
Hooke's Law
- States that within the proportional limit, stress is directly proportional to strain
- Mathematically represented as: σ = Eε
- Where σ is stress, E is the modulus of elasticity, and ε is strain
- Applies to materials that obey Hooke's Law, such as most metals and alloys
Elastic Modulus (E)
- Measures the stiffness of a material
- Defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the proportional limit
- Units: Pa (Pascals) or psi (pounds per square inch)
- Higher elastic modulus indicates a stiffer material
Plastic Deformation
- Permanent deformation of a material under stress, beyond its elastic limit
- Occurs when a material is loaded beyond its yield point
- Characterized by a permanent change in shape or size
- Can be desirable (e.g., in metal forming) or undesirable (e.g., in structural failure)
Stress-Strain Curve
- Graphical representation of a material's behavior under tension or compression
- Plots stress (σ) against strain (ε)
- Typical curve features:
- Proportional limit: linear region where stress is proportional to strain
- Yield point: point at which the material begins to deform plastically
- Ultimate strength: maximum stress a material can withstand
- Fracture point: point at which the material breaks or fractures
Young's Modulus (E)
- A type of elastic modulus that relates to longitudinal stress and strain
- Defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to longitudinal strain within the proportional limit
- Units: Pa (Pascals) or psi (pounds per square inch)
- Provides a measure of a material's stiffness in the longitudinal direction
Elasticity
- Stress is directly proportional to strain within the proportional limit, as stated by Hooke's Law
- Hooke's Law is mathematically represented as σ = Eε, where σ is stress, E is the modulus of elasticity, and ε is strain
- The law applies to materials that obey Hooke's Law, such as most metals and alloys
Elastic Modulus (E)
- Measures the stiffness of a material
- Defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the proportional limit
- Units are Pa (Pascals) or psi (pounds per square inch)
- A higher elastic modulus indicates a stiffer material
Plastic Deformation
- Permanent deformation of a material under stress, beyond its elastic limit
- Occurs when a material is loaded beyond its yield point
- Characterized by a permanent change in shape or size
- Can be desirable (e.g., in metal forming) or undesirable (e.g., in structural failure)
Stress-Strain Curve
- Graphical representation of a material's behavior under tension or compression
- Plots stress (σ) against strain (ε)
- Typical curve features include:
- Proportional limit: linear region where stress is proportional to strain
- Yield point: point at which the material begins to deform plastically
- Ultimate strength: maximum stress a material can withstand
- Fracture point: point at which the material breaks or fractures
Young's Modulus (E)
- A type of elastic modulus that relates to longitudinal stress and strain
- Defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to longitudinal strain within the proportional limit
- Units are Pa (Pascals) or psi (pounds per square inch)
- Provides a measure of a material's stiffness in the longitudinal direction
Atmospheric Pressure
- Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the air in the atmosphere.
- It is measured in units of pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm).
Factors Affecting Atmospheric Pressure
- Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
- It increases with increasing temperature.
- It increases with increasing humidity.
- Changes in weather patterns can affect atmospheric pressure.
Scales Used to Measure Atmospheric Pressure
- Barometric scale measures pressure in inches of mercury (inHg).
- Millibars (mbar) are commonly used in meteorology.
- Pascals (Pa) are the SI unit of pressure.
Atmospheric Pressure and Weather
- High pressure is associated with fair weather, clear skies, and light winds.
- Low pressure is associated with poor weather, precipitation, and strong winds.
- Pressure gradients drive wind patterns and weather systems.
Importance of Atmospheric Pressure
- Understanding atmospheric pressure is crucial for predicting weather patterns.
- Pilots need to consider atmospheric pressure for safe flight operations.
- Atmospheric pressure affects the weather we experience daily.
