elasticity/ plasticity

r

Elasticity is the property of a body to recover its original configuration (shape and size) when you remove the deforming forces. Plastic bodies do not show a tendency to recover to their ori ginal configuration when you remove the deforming forces.Plasticity is the property of a body to lose its property of elasticity and acquire a permanent deformation on the removal of deforming force.

stress

r

stress is the force acting on the unit area of a material. 

normal

r

When a force acts perpendicular (or "normal") to the surface of an object, it exerts a normal stress

tensile

r

Tensile Stress = Force / Cross-sectional Area. Tensile stress measures the strength of a material; therefore, it refers to a force that attempts to pull apart or stretch a material

compressive

r

Compressive stress is a force that causes a material to deform to occupy a smaller volume. 

shear

r

 When a force acts parallel to the surface of an object, it exerts a shear stress.

bulk

r

bulk stress causes a change in the volume of the object or medium and is caused by forces acting on the body from all directions, perpendicular to its surface.

strain

longitudinal

r

Change in the length to the original length of an object. It is caused due to longitudinal stress

lateral

r

The lateral strain is the ratio of change in the diameter of the wire to its change in diameter in longitudinal direction.

volumetric

r

Volumetric strain is defined as the ratio of change in volume of a body to its original volume due to the application of some external deforming forces

hooke's law

r

Hooke's law states that the strain of the material is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material

young's modulus

r

The Young's modulus (E) is a property of the material that tells us how easily it can stretch and deform and is defined as the ratio of tensile stress (σ) to tensile strain (ε).

yield strength

r

The magnitude of the stress at which the transition from elastic to plastic occurs is known as the yield strength
