Example 3. In our previous example, the stress
applied to the steel wire was 6.37 x 107 Pa and the
strain was 3.08 x 10-4. Find the modulus of elasBcity for
steel.

Volume ElasBcity
Not all deformaBons are linear. SomeBmes an applied stress F/A results in a
decrease of volume. In such cases, there is a bulk modulus B of elasBcity.

Units remain in Pascals (Pa) since the strain is
unitless.
Example 7. A hydrostaBc press contains 5 liters of
oil. Find the decrease in volume of the oil if it is
subjected to a pressure of 3000 kPa. (Assume that
B = 1700 MPa.)

Summary of DefiniBons
Stress is the raBo of an applied force F to the area A over which it acts:

The Elastic Limit
The elasBc limit is the maximum stress a body can experience without becoming
permanently deformed.
