Revision Notes — Mechanical Properties of Solids
Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Mechanical Properties of Solids for CUET (UG) Physics preparation.
Key Topics to Revise
8.1 Introduction to Elasticity
- Solids have definite shape and size but are not perfectly rigid
- Elasticity is the property by which a body regains its original shape and size after removing the deforming force
- Elastic substances regain their original configuration (steel, rubber)
8.2 Stress and Strain
- Stress is the restoring force per unit area: σ = F/A
- Three types of stress: tensile, compressive, and shearing stress
- Strain is the relative change in configuration of the body
8.3 Hooke's Law
- Hooke's Law: Stress ∝ Strain (within elastic limit)
- Mathematical form: Stress = K × Strain, where K is modulus of elasticity
- Valid only for small deformations within elastic limit
8.4 Stress-Strain Curve
- O to A: Linear region where Hooke's law is obeyed
- A to B: Non-linear but still elastic behavior
- Point B: Yield point (elastic limit)
