This page contains solved examples on Elasticity explaining about stress and strain
Elasticity is the ability of materials to return to their original shape after a deforming (stretching, compressing, shearing, bending) force has been removed.
Bones are brittle and the elastic region is small and the fracture abrupt. Eventually a large enough stress to the material will cause it to break or fracture. Tensile strength is the breaking stress that will cause permanent deformation or fracture of a material.
Elasticity is the property of solid materials to return to their original shape and size after the forces deforming them have been removed. Recall Hooke's law — first stated formally by Robert Hooke in The True Theory of Elasticity or Springiness (1676)…
Challenge Problems A horizontal force \(\vec{F}\) is applied to a uniform sphere in direction exact toward the center of the sphere, as shown below. Find the magnitude of this force so that the sphere remains in static equilibrium.
Explain the concepts of stress and strain in describing elastic deformations of materials; Describe the types of elastic deformation of objects and materials
Our skins are particularly elastic, especially for the young. A young person can go from 100 kg to 60 kg with no visible sag in their skins. The elasticity of all organs reduces with age. Gradual physiological aging through reduction in elasticity starts in the early 20s.
