  2. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    The three-dimensional form of Hooke's law can be derived using Poisson's ratio and the one-dimensional form of Hooke's law as follows. Consider the strain and stress relation as a superposition of two effects: stretching in direction of the load (1) and shrinking (caused by the load) in perpendicular directions (2 and 3 ...

  3. Constitutive equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutive_equation

    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.

  4. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    The stress is proportional to the strain, that is, obeys the general Hooke's law, and the slope is Young's modulus. In this region, the material undergoes only elastic deformation. The end of the stage is the initiation point of plastic deformation. The stress component of this point is defined as yield strength (or upper yield point, UYP for short

  5. Linear elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_elasticity

    In this approach, the strains and stresses are eliminated from the formulation, leaving the displacements as the unknowns to be solved for in the governing equations. First, the strain-displacement equations are substituted into the constitutive equations (Hooke's Law), eliminating the strains as unknowns: = + =, + (, +,).

  6. Deformation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(physics)

    The relation between stress and strain (relative deformation) is expressed by constitutive equations, e.g., Hooke's law for linear elastic materials. Deformations which cease to exist after the stress field is removed are termed as elastic deformation. In this case, the continuum completely recovers its original configuration.

  7. Elasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(physics)

    For small strains, the measure of stress that is used is the Cauchy stress while the measure of strain that is used is the infinitesimal strain tensor; the resulting (predicted) material behavior is termed linear elasticity, which (for isotropic media) is called the generalized Hooke's law.

  8. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    For these materials Hooke's law is inapplicable. [2] Difference in true and engineering stress-strain curves. Plastic deformation ... Eng. stress & strain equations

  9. Elasticity tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_tensor

    The elasticity tensor is a fourth-rank tensor describing the stress-strain relation in a linear elastic material. [1] [2] Other names are elastic modulus tensor and stiffness tensor. Common symbols include and . The defining equation can be written as =
