Study Notes
Mechanical Properties of Solids
- Solids have definite shape and size
- Forces are required to change (deform) the shape or size of a body
- Elasticity is the tendency of a body to regain its original shape and size when the applied force is removed
- Elastic deformation is the deformation caused by elasticity
- Plasticity is the property by which a substance does not regain its original shape and size
- Stress is the restoring force per unit area
- Strain is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension
- Hooke's Law states that stress and strain are proportional for small deformations
- Stress = k × strain
- k is the modulus of elasticity
- Stress-strain curves show the relationship between stress and strain for a given material
- Understanding stress-strain curves helps in structural and manufacturing design
- Young's Modulus (Y) is the ratio of tensile (or compressive) stress to longitudinal strain
- Y =(F/A)/(∆L/L) = (F × L) / (A × ∆L)
- Young's modulus has units of N/m² (or Pa)
- Shear Modulus (G) is the ratio of shearing stress to shearing strain
- G = (F/A)/(∆x/L) = (F × L) / (A × ∆x)
- Bulk Modulus (B) is the ratio of hydraulic stress to volume strain
- B = - p/(∆V/V)
- Compressibility is the reciprocal of bulk modulus
- Various materials have different elastic moduli, which affect their behavior under stress
- Solids are less compressible than liquids, which are less compressible than gases
- Elastomers exhibit large strains before failure, unlike other materials
- Elasticity is important for structural design, materials selection, and understanding how materials deform under load
- Applications of elastic behavior are in cranes, bridges, automobiles, and artificial limbs
