In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
Anelasticity is therefore by the existence of a part of time dependent reaction, in addition to the elastic one in the material considered. It is also usually a very small fraction of the total response and so, in this sense, the usual meaning of "anelasticity" as "without elasticity" is improper in a physical sense.
This relationship is known as Hooke's law. A geometry-dependent version of the idea [a] was first formulated by Robert Hooke in 1675 as a Latin anagram, "ceiiinosssttuv". He published the answer in 1678: "Ut tensio, sic vis" meaning "As the extension, so the force", [5] [6] a linear relationship commonly referred to as Hooke's law.
The first constitutive equation (constitutive law) was developed by Robert Hooke and is known as Hooke's law.It deals with the case of linear elastic materials.Following this discovery, this type of equation, often called a "stress-strain relation" in this example, but also called a "constitutive assumption" or an "equation of state" was commonly used.
Hooke's law is a mathematical consequence of the fact that the potential energy of the rod is a minimum when it has its relaxed length. Any smooth function of one variable approximates a quadratic function when examined near enough to its minimum point as can be seen by examining the Taylor series.
For example, an invariant with respect to the group of proper orthogonal transformations, called SO(3), is a quantity that remains constant under arbitrary 3D rotations. C {\displaystyle \mathbf {C} } possesses two linear invariants and seven quadratic invariants with respect to SO(3). [ 12 ]
However, if the mass is displaced from the equilibrium position, the spring exerts a restoring elastic force that obeys Hooke's law. Mathematically, F = − k x , {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =-k\mathbf {x} ,} where F is the restoring elastic force exerted by the spring (in SI units: N ), k is the spring constant ( N ·m −1 ), and x is the ...
Hooke's law may be written in terms of tensor components using index notation as = +, where δ ij is the Kronecker delta. The two parameters together constitute a parameterization of the elastic moduli for homogeneous isotropic media, popular in mathematical literature, and are thus related to the other elastic moduli ; for instance, the bulk ...
