Elasticity
Elasticity, ability of a deformed material body to return to its original shape and
size when the forces causing the deformation are removed. A body with this
ability is said to behave (or respond) elastically

There is a limit to the magnitude of the force and the


accompanying deformation within which elastic
recovery is possible for any given material. This
limit, called the elastic limit, is the maximum stress
 or force per unit area within a solid material that
can arise before the onset of permanent
deformation.

CLO-1 (PLO-1)
Elastic Constants

Elastic constants are the constants describing mechanical response of a material


when it is elastic.

Elastic constants measure the proportionality between strain and stress

If this mechanical response is linear , one


can define a set of constants that relate any
applied stress to the corresponding strain
Young’s Modulus
For a simple tension or compression test, the easiest elastic constant to define is 
Young's modulus, E. Young's modulus is the elastic constant defined as the 
proportionality constant between stress and strain:

𝜎
𝐸=
𝜖
The Young's modulus is the slope of the linear
elastic response for a number of materials
Modulus of elasticity is often called Young’s
modulus, after another English scientist, Thomas
Young (1773–1829).

Young’s Modulus is the ability of any material to


resist the change along its length
Bulk Modulus
When a body is subjected to mutually perpendicular direct stresses which
are alike and equal, within its elastic limits, the ratio of direct stress to the
corresponding volumetric strain is found to be constant. This ratio is called
bulk modulus and is represented by letter “K”. Unit of Bulk modulus is MPa.
Direct Stress
Bulk Modulus ( K ) =
Volumetric Strain
Shear Modulus
A type of stress called a shear stress, , can also be defined which can produce a
shear strain, .
 Justas for normal stresses, shear loading can
result in a mechanical response that is elastic and
nearly linear, but the shape change is called a
shear strain.
Shear Modulus
The elastic constant that describes the linear relation between  and  is called
the shear modulus, G. 

𝜏
𝐺=
𝛾

G is the shear modulus of elasticity (also called the modulus


of rigidity).
Poisson’s Ratio
Another elastic constant that can be obtained in a tension or compression test
wherein the strain along the loading direction and orthogonal to it is called 
Poisson's ratio, ν.
When a prismatic bar is loaded in tension, the axial
elongation is accompanied by lateral contraction
(that is, contraction normal to the direction of the
applied load).
Poisson’s Ratio
Lateral contraction is easily seen by stretching a rubber band, but in metals the
changes in lateral dimensions (in the linearly elastic region) are usually too small
to be visible. However, they can be detected with sensitive measuring devices.

Poisson’s Ratio
The lateral strain e at any point in a bar is proportional to the axial strainat that
same point if the material is linearly elastic. The ratio of these strains is a
property of the material known as Poisson’s ratio. This dimensionless ratio,
usually denoted by the Greek letter (nu), can be expressed by the equation

𝐿𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝜖′
𝜈= =−
𝐴𝑥𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝜖

The minus sign is inserted in the equation


to compensate for the fact that the lateral
and axial strains normally have opposite
signs.
Relationship between Elastic Constants
The relationship between Young’s modulus (E), rigidity modulus (G) and
Poisson’s ratio () is expressed as

𝐸
𝐺=
2(1+𝜈)

This relationship, will be derived later in our discussion of Torsion, shows that
E, G, and are not independent elastic properties
of the material.
Relationship between Elastic Constants
 The relationship between Young’s modulus (E), bulk modulus (K) and
Poisson’s ratio () is expressed as :

𝐸
𝐾=
3(1 −2 𝜈)
 Young’s modulus can be expressed in terms of bulk modulus (K) and rigidity
modulus (G) as :
9 𝐾𝐺
𝐸=
(3 𝐾 + 𝐺)
Relationship between Elastic Constants
 Poisson’s ratio can be expressed in terms of bulk modulus (K) and rigidity
modulus (G) as :

( 3 𝐾 −2 𝐺 )
𝜈=
(6 𝐾 +2 𝐺)
