Study Notes
Stress and Strain
- The relationship between stress and strain for a material is termed Young's Modulus.
- Young's Modulus quantifies how much a material deforms under tensile or compressive stress.
Rigid Body Definition
- A rigid body refers to an idealized solid object that does not deform under applied forces, maintaining a constant shape and size.
Changing Shape or Size
- To change the shape or size of a body, an external force must be applied.
- The amount and nature of the force, along with material properties, determine the extent of the deformation.
Helical Spring Behavior
- When a helical spring is stretched by gently pulling its ends, its length increases.
- This behavior follows Hooke's Law, where deformation is proportional to applied force.
Effects of Large Force on Solid Body
- When a sufficiently large external force is applied to a solid body, it can lead to permanent deformation or breakage.
- The threshold beyond which a material cannot return to its original shape is known as the yield point.
Solid Object Characteristics
- A hard solid object that has a definite shape and size, capable of being stretched, compressed, or bent, is called a deformable body.
- These properties highlight the object’s ability to respond to external forces without losing its fundamental structure.
Chapter on Rotation of Bodies
- The chapter discussing the rotation of bodies and the dependence of motion on mass distribution is typically titled Dynamics of Rigid Bodies.
- It explores how forces and torques affect rotational motion.
Behavior of Rigid Steel Bar Under Force
- When a sufficiently large external force is applied to a rigid steel bar, the bar can experience elastic deformation up to its yield strength, followed by potential permanent deformation if the force exceeds this limit.
- Ultimately, the structure can fail if the stress surpasses the material's capacity to withstand it.
