Elasticity |
The ability of a body to resist stress, and to return to its original shape when the stress is removed. An example of an elastic material is rubber |
|
|
Inelasticity |
A material in which deformation is not proportional to applied force, and deformation is not recoverable. Examples include wood and steel. |
|
|
Hooke's Law |
This law states that within the elastic limit, stress is proportional to strain. |
|
|
Stress |
Stress can be defined as the force applied to a certain cross-sectional area of an object. |
|
|
Strain |
Strain is the deformation of a solid due to stress |
|
|
Young's Modulus |
Also referred to as the modulus of elasticity, Young's modulus is the ratio of stress to strain, or the measure of resistance to elastic deformation |
