UNIT – 1 STRESS STRAIN AND DEFORMATION OF SOLIDS
1. Define stress
The force of resistance per unit area, offered by a body against deformation is
known as stress. Mathematically stress is written as,
|
P= External force or load
A= Cross- Sectional area
2. Define strain
When a body is subjected to some external force, there is some change of
dimension of the body. The ratio of change dimension of the body to the original dimension is known as strain.
Strain may be:
1. Tensile strain 2. Compressive strain
3. Volumetric strain, and 4. Shear strain.
3. Define elastic limit
The limiting value of force up to and with in which, the deformation
completely disappears on the removal of the force. The value of stress corresponding to this limiting force is known as the elastic limit of the material
4. State Hokes law
Hokes’s Law states that when a material is loaded within elastic limit; the
stress is proportional to the strain produced by stress.
5. Define shear stress and shear strain
The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal and opposite forces which are acting tangentially across the resisting section, as a result of which the body tends to shear off across the section, is known as shear stress. The corresponding strain is known as shear strain. The shear stress acts tangential to the area. It is represented by τ.
6. Define poison’s ratio
The ratio of lateral strain to the longitudinal strain is constant for a given
material, when the material is stressed within the elastic limit. This ratio is
called Poisson’s Ratio and it is generally denoted by μ
7. Define Young’s modulus
The ratio of tensile stress or compressive stress to the corresponding strain is a
constant. This ratio is known as Young’s Modulus.
|
The ratio of the shear stress to the corresponding shear strain within elastic
limit is known as Modulus of Rigidity or Shear Modulus. This is denoted by C
or G or N.

It is defined as the ratio of ultimate tensile stress to the working stress.
Mathematically it is written as
|
Whenever a body is strained, energy is absorbed in the body. The energy,
which is absorbed in the body due to strained effect, is known as strain energy.
11. Define bulk modulus
When a body is subjected to the mutually perpendicular like and equal direct
stresses, the ratio of direct stress to the corresponding volumetric strain is found to be constant for a given material when the deformation is within a certain limit. This ratio is known as bulk modulus.

rigidly fixed with each other and behaving as one unit for extension or compression when subjected to axial tensile or compressive loads, is called a composite bar.
13. Define lateral strain

strain.

prevented, then compressive stress and strain will be set up in the rod. This strain is known as thermal strain.

E = 3K (1-2µ )
Where, E= Young’s Modulus
C = Modulus of Rigidity
K = Bulk Modulus
µ = Poisson’s Ratio
17. Define Resilience.
The Total strain energy stored in a body is commonly known as resilience.
Whenever the straining force is removed from the strained body, the body is capable of doing work. Hence the resilience is also defined as the capacity of strained body for doing work on removal of straining body.
18. Define Proof Resilience
The Maximum strain energy stored in a body is known as proof resilience. The
strain energy stored in the body will be the maximum when the body is stressed upto elastic limit. Hence the proof resilience is the quantity of strain energy stored in ablody when strained up to elastic limit.
