Objectives: After completion of this
module, you should be able to:
• Demonstrate your understanding of
elasticity, elastic limit, stress, strain, and
ultimate strength.
• Write and apply formulas for calculating
Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and
bulk modulus.
• Solve problems involving each of the
parameters in the above objectives.
Elastic Properties of Matter
An elastic body is one that returns to its original
shape after a deformation.
F = -kx

The spring constant F
F k is a property of the k
m spring given by: x
Types of Stress
Tensile stress
Compression test:
Compressive stress
Summary of Definitions
Stress is the ratio of an applied force F to the
area A over which it acts:
F N lb
Stress Units : Pa 2 or
A m in.2
Strain is the relative change in the dimensions or
shape of a body as the result of an applied stress:
Examples: Change in length per unit length;
change in volume per unit volume.
L

Longitudinal Stress and Strain
For wires, rods, and bars,
there is a longitudinal
L A stress F/A that produces a

Example 1. A steel wire 10 m long and
2 mm in diameter is attached to the
ceiling and a 200-N weight is attached
to the end. What is the applied stress?

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

W Beyond limit

Stress
A W
If the stress exceeds the elastic limit, the final
length will be longer than the original 2 m.
The Ultimate Strength
The ultimate strength is the greatest stress a body can
experience without breaking or rupturing.

A W W
If the stress exceeds the ultimate strength,
the string breaks!
Example 2. The elastic limit for steel is
2.48 x 108 Pa. What is the maximum
weight that can be supported without
exceeding the elastic limit?

Volume Elasticity
Not all deformations are linear. Sometimes an applied
stress F/A results in a decrease of volume. In such
cases, there is a bulk modulus B of elasticity.
