Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Elasticity for JEE Mains Physics preparation.
Key Topics to Revise
Introduction to Elasticity
- When external forces act on a body, two effects occur: deformation and development of internal restoring forces
- Elasticity is the property of materials to return to original shape after removing external forces
- Perfectly elastic body: completely returns to original shape
Stress and Strain
- Stress is internal restoring force per unit area (σ = F/A)
- Strain is change in dimension per unit original dimension (ε = Δx/x)
- Stress has dimensions [ML⁻¹T⁻²], same as pressure
Hooke's Law and Elastic Moduli
- Hooke's Law: For small deformations, stress ∝ strain
- Modulus of elasticity E = stress/strain
- Three types: Young's modulus (Y), Bulk modulus (B), Rigidity modulus (η)
Stress-Strain Curve
- Linear region: stress ∝ strain (Hooke's law applies)
- Proportional limit (P): end of linear relationship
- Elastic limit (E): maximum stress for complete recovery
