What are the 2 types of Deformations?
Deformations can be Elastic or Plastic
1 of 14
How can an object be deformed by a force?
When an object is stretched,compressed or bent-when you apply forces on an object
2 of 14
What is the least number of forces needed to deform an object?
two forces
3 of 14
What is an Elastic Deformation?
When the object returns to its original shape after the forces are removed
4 of 14
What is a Plastic Deformation?
When the object doesn't return to its original shape when you remove the forces
5 of 14
What is the equation to find the force exerted by a spring?
Force exerted by a Spring (N) = Extension (m) x Spring Constant (N/m)
6 of 14
Can this equation be applied to all elastic objects,not just springs?
yes
7 of 14
Is the Extension inversely proportional to the Force?
no-they are directly proportional to eachother
8 of 14
What factor determines the spring constant of a spring?
the spring constant depends on the material you're stretching-stiffer the material,larger the spring constant
9 of 14
What is Hooke's Law?
The relationship between the extension of a spring & the force is called Hooke's Law
10 of 14
What is the elastic limit?
The maximum force that can be applied to a material before it starts to deform plastically
11 of 14
What happens to a spring when you go beyond its elastic limit?
It will deform plastically-no longer follows Hooke's Law
12 of 14
What are Plastic Materials?
Materials that have a low elastic limit-you'll never normally see them deforming elastically
13 of 14
How might the graph of force by extension look like for Plastic Materials?
it will non-linear=curved graph
