Materials Flashcards
ρ = (density)
m / v
Volume of sphere
4/3 π r^3
volume of cylinder
πr^2h
F = (Hooke’s law)
kΔL
Define limit of proportionality
Point beyond which HOOKE’S LAW IS NO OONGER TRUE
Define elastic limit
The maximum amount a material can stretch and STILL RETURN to its original length
E =
σ / ε
σ =
F / A
ε =
ΔL / L
E = (expanded)
(F L) / (A ΔL)
Define yield stress
The force per unit area which the material extends PLASTICALLY FOR LITTLE INCREASE in stress
Define breaking point
The maximum stress a material can withstand before fracture
Define plastic deformation
Permanent deformation
Elastic strain energy =
Area under FORCE- EXTENSION graph
Elastic strain energy of elastic material
1/2 F ΔL
