Limit of proportionality
the point a which behaviour no longer conforms to Hookes Law
1 of 27
Elastic Limit
the point at which the spring which no longer return to its original shape when the force is removed
2 of 27
Elasticity
the ability to regain shape after deforming forces are removed
3 of 27
Elastic potential energy
the energy stored in a body due a load (force) causing deformation
4 of 27
work done is EQUAL to...
..Elastic potential energy
5 of 27
EQUATION: Work done =
Force x Distance
6 of 27
EQUATION: EPE =
1/2kx2
7 of 27
tensile stress
force per area
8 of 27
tensile strain
force per unit of area
9 of 27
EQUATION: strain =
Force / Area
10 of 27
tensile stress:
extension per unit of length
11 of 27
EQUATION: stress:
extension / original
12 of 27
Stiffness
how difficult it is to change the shape/size of material. The greater the stiffness the steeper the gradient
13 of 27
Strength
ultimate tensile stress of the material before it breaks
14 of 27
toughness
measure of the energy needed to break a material. Area under a stress/strain curve
15 of 27
breaking point
the point at which a material breaks under their UTS
16 of 27
breaking stress
the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking
17 of 27
ultimate tensile strength
the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking
18 of 27
brittle
a material that breaks and shows so plastic deformation - linear graph - e.g. glass
19 of 27
example of brittle material
glass
20 of 27
ductile
a material that undergoes plastic deformation before breaking - drawn into wires - e.g. copper
21 of 27
example of ductile material
copper
22 of 27
elastic limit
the point beyond which the material undergoes plastic deformation
23 of 27
limit of proportionality
the point at which a material no longer conforms to Hooke's Law
24 of 27
plastic deformation
permanent deformation after the force is removed
25 of 27
restoring force
the force exerted by the spring in the opposite force to the deforming force
26 of 27
yield point
the point at which there is a large increase in extension for a small increase in force
