A shear is equivalent to a compression and an extension at right angle to each other: Let us consider a cube , having each side equal to with its lower…
There are three types of elastic modulus. These are 1. Young's Modulus(Y): This is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the corresponding strain within the elastic limit. READ…
Poisson's Ratio: When an object is elongated longitudinally in the direction of the tensile force, then there will be a lateral contraction. this means that the contraction is in a…
Modulus of Rigidity or Shear Modulus: Modulus of rigidity is defined as the ratio of tangential stress to shear strain within the elastic limit. If a tangential force acts on…
Young's Modulus (Y): This modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal (tensile or compressive) stress to the corresponding strain within the elastic limit. Elastic Limit : There is a…
Hooke's Law: There is a certain limit of deforming forces up to which the behavior of a body remains elastic. This is called the elastic limit of the material of…
Elastic Limit : There is a certain limit of the deforming forces up to which the behaviour of a body remains elastic, i.e, it regains its original shape or size…
Strain: When a force or a system of forces acting upon a body produces a relative displacement between its parts and the change in length, volume, or shape may take…
Elasticity: Elasticity is an inherent property by virtue of which a body undergoing a change in length, volume, or shape due to the application of external forces, tends to regain…
