Deforming force : A force which changes the size or
shape of a body is called a deforming force. Elasticity. If a body regains its original size and shape after the removal of deforming force , it is said to be elastic body and this property is called elasticity. Perfectly elastic body. If a body regains its original size and shape completely and immediately after the removal of deforming force , it is said to be perfectly elastic body. Plasticity. If a body does not regain its original size and shape even after the removal of deforming force it is said to be plastic body and this property is called plasticity. Stress . The internal restoring force set up per unit area of cross-section of the deformed body is called stress. The restoring force is equal and opposite to the external deforming force. Stress = Applied Force/Area = F/A SI unit N/m2 CGS Unit dyne/cm2 Dimensional Formula [ML-1T-2] Types of stress 1.Tensile Stress. It is the restoring force set up per unit cross-sectional area of a body when the length of the body increases in the direction of deforming force. It is also known as longitudinal stress. 2. Compressional stress. It is the restoring force set up per unit cross-sectional area of a body when its length decreases under a deforming force. 3. Hydrostatic stress. If a body is subjected to a uniform force from all sides , then the corresponding stress is called hydrostatic stress. 4. Tangential stress or shearing stress. When a deforming force acts tangentially to the surface of a body, it produces a change in the shape of the body. The tangential force applied per unit area is equal to the tangential stress. Strain: The ratio of the change in any dimension produced in the body to the original dimension is called strain. Strain = Change in dimension/ Original dimension Since it is the ratio of two like quantities, it has no units and dimensions. Strain is of three types. 1. Longitudinal strain. It is defined as the ratio of change in length to the original length. Longitudinal strain = ∆l/l 2. Volumetric strain =Change in Volume/original volume = ∆V/V 3. Shear Strain . It is defined as the angle ϴ (in radians), through which a face originally perpendicular to the fixed face gets turned on applying tangential deforming force Shear strain =ϴ= tanϴ= ∆l/l Elastic limit. The maximum stress within which the body regains its original size and shape after the removal of deforming force is called elastic limit. Hooke’s Law It states that within the elastic limit, the stress is directly proportional to strain Stress/strain = Constant The constant of proportionality is called modulus of elasticity or coefficient of elasticity of the material. Its value depends on the nature of the material of the body and the manner in which it is deformed. Modulus of elasticity , E = Stress/strain SI unit N/m2 Dimensional Formula [ML-1T-2] Different types of elasticity (i) Young’s modulus (Y) –the modulus of elasticity of length (ii) Bulk modulus (K) – the modulus of elasticity of volume (iii) Modulus of rigidity or shear modulus (ƞ) – modulus of elasticity of shape. Young’s modulus of elasticity (Y) Within the elastic limit, the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain is called Young’s modulus of the material of the wire. Y = (F/A)/ (∆l/l) Y = F.l/A.∆l If the wire has a circular cross-section of radius r , then Area = πr2 Bulk modulus of elasticity. K = Normal stress/Volumetric strain = -(F/A)/ (∆V/V) = -PV/∆V Where P is the normal pressure Negative sign shows that the volume decreases with the increase in stress. SI unit N/m2 Dimensional formula [ML-1T-2] Compressibility . The reciprocal of the bulk modulus of a material is called its compressibility Compressibility = 1/K SI unit N-1m2 Dimensional formula [M-1LT2] Modulus of rigidity or shear modulus ƞ=Tangential stress/Shear strain =(F/A)/ϴ = F/Aϴ = Fl/A∆l Stress- Strain Important features of the graph (i) The initial part OA of the graph is a straight line indicating that stress is proportional to strain. Up to the point A Hooke’s law is obeyed. The point A is called the proportional limit. In this region the wire is perfectly elastic. (ii) After the point A , the stress is not proportional to strain. A curved portion AB is obtained. But if the load is removed at any point between O and B the wire attains its original length. The portion OB of the graph is called elastic region. The point B is called elastic limit or yield point. The corresponding stress is called yield strength. (iii) Beyond the point B the strain increases more rapidly than stress. If the force is removed at any point C, the wire does not come back to its original length. It traces the dotted line CE. Even on reducing the stress to zero , a residual strain equals OE is left in the wire. The material is said to have acquired a permanent set. The stress-strain curve is not retraced. The strain is called elastic hysteresis. • (iv) Further increase in force beyond C produces a large increase in strain or length of the wire. In the region B and D the length of the wire goes on increasing even without addition of force. D is called fracture point. The region BD is called plastic region. The material is said to have plastic deformation. • If large deformation takes place between the elastic limit and the fracture point , the material is called ductile. If it breaks soon after the elastic limit is crossed, it is called brittle. Elastic Potential Energy: When a wire is stretched, the inter atomic forces oppose the change. Work has to done against these restoring forces. The work done in stretching the wire is stored in it as its elastic potential energy. Expression for elastic Potential Energy. Let a force F applied on a wire of length l increases its length by ∆l. Initially, the internal restoring force in the wire is zero. When the length is increased by ∆l, the internal force increases from zero to F(= applied force) Average internal force for an increase in length ∆l of wire = (0+F)/2 = F/2 Work done on the wire W = average force x ∆l = ( F/2)x ∆l This work done is stored as elastic potential energy U in the wire. U = ½ F x ∆l = ½ stretching force x increase in length = ½ (F/A)x (∆l/l)x Al. (multiplying and dividing by Al Where A is the area of cross –section of the wire.) U = ½ Stress x Strain x Volume of the wire. Elastic potential energy per unit volume of wire or elastic energy density = u = U/Volume = ½ Stress x strain = ½ Young’s modulus x ( strain)2 Poisson’s ratio: When a wire is loaded, its length increases but its diameter decreases. The strain produced in the direction of applied force is called longitudinal strain. The strain produced in the perpendicular direction is called lateral strain. Within elastic limit, the ratio of lateral strain to the longitudinal strain is called Poisson’s ratio. Longitudinal strain =∆l/l Lateral strain = -∆D/D ( The negative shows that as length increases diameter decreases.) Poisson’s ratio = Lateral Strain/Longitudinal Strain -(l/D). ∆D/∆l. As Poisson’s ratio is the ratio of two strains, it has no unit and dimension. Numerical problems 1.
