3.1 Elasticity
Elasticity:Any material that regains its original shape (size) after experiencing a deforming force is deemed elastic. Consequently, one that does not regains its shape after deformation is said to be inelastic. For example, springs (metals), rubber are elastic but plastics are inelastic. This property is dependent on the molecular structure and behaviour of the material under consideration. In the 17th Cenury, Robert Hooke was the first to investigate such behaviour.

3.1 Elasticity
Inter-molecular Force:For separation distance d between the two atoms:
a) d = d0 , no force exists between the atoms.
b) d > d0, the force is attractive and long range.
c) d < d0, the force is repulsive and short range.

3.1 Stress and Strain
Hooke’s Law:This law states that the stress experienced by a material is directly proportional to the strain it produces in that material provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
Stress:This is the force acting per unit area perpendicular to the area of contact.Units: Pascal (Pa)
1 Pa = 1Nm-2

3.1 Stress and Strain
Strain:This is the fractional change in the length of a material.Units: None
Where- Change in the length of the
material.- Original length of the material.

3.2 Stress/Strain Relationship
Points on Stress-Strain Graph:1. Limit of Proportionality: Prior to and at
this point, stress is directly proportional strain.
2. Elastic Limit: At this point, the material exhibits elastic behaviour (regains original shape when deforming force removed. Hooke’s Law obeyed.
3. Yield Point: At this point, permanent deformation (Plastic Behaviour) sets in. Small increments in stress produce significant changes in strain.
4. Breaking Point: Beyond this point, the material snaps.

Stress/Strain Graphs: Copper and Glass

3.2 Stress/Strain Relationship
Stress-Strain Graphs:1. Ductile Material: It exhibits significant
plastic deformation before its breaking point is reached.
2. Brittle Material: It does not exhibit plastic deformation. As soon as the elastic limit is exceeded, the material breaks. .
3. Hysteresis Loop: The path of extension and contraction differs thus energy is trapped in the material and is gradually released as heat.

Stress/Strain Graphs: Rubber

3.3 Hooke’s Law
Hooke’s Law:This law states that provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded, the stress (deforming force) exerted on a material is directly proportional to the strain (extension) it produces in that material.

3.3 Hooke’s Law
Experimental Verification:a) Standard weights are
placed in the scale pan.b) Corresponding extensions
and contractions of the spring is recorded.
c) Extension/contraction is plotted against deforming force.
d) Spring constant is determined from the plot.

3.5 Young’s Modulus
Modulus of Elasticity E/Y:This is the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain. For a material that obeys Hooke’s law, the gradient of the linear portion of the stress-strain graph yields Young’s Modulus.
Units: Pascal (Pa)1 Pa = 1Nm-2
E/Y is quoted in Mega-Pascals (MPa)
