o Isotropy:
Body is said to be isotropic if its physical properties are not dependent
upon the direction in the body along which they are measured,
9
Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Anisotropy:
The quality of variation of a physical property with the direction in a
body along which the property is measured.
10
Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Elasticity:
It is the property of a material which enables it to regain its original
shape and size after deformation within the elastic limit.

o Stress and Strain
Stress:
A measure of the average amount of force exerted per unit area.
Torsional Shear

Tension 17
Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Poisson’s Ratio
The Poisson ratio is the fraction (or percent) of expansion divided by the
fraction (or percent) of compression.
Compression

Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Stress and Strain
Strain:
It is the deformation per the unit of the original length.
When ever stresses are applied on a body, there will be deformation i.e.
there will be variation in the size of the object (either decreases or increases).
This deformation is called Strain.
19
Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Stress and Strain
Hooks Law:
It states that Stress and Strain in a material are proportional to each
other within the elastic limits.
σ 𝖺 ε
The ratio between Stress and strain is always a constant.
σ=E ε E = σ/ ε
E = σ/ ε

o Ductility:
It is defined as the property of a metal by virtue of which it can be drawn
into wires or elongated before rupture takes place.
25
Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Ductility:
Percentage of Reduction
26
Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Ductility & Malleability:
Ductility is an important property of a material which governs its ability to
be deformed in processes, e.g. drawing, rolling and forging. Adequate
ductility ensures that the material during these processes will not fracture.

o Brittleness:
A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress, it breaks without
significant deformation (strain).
Brittle materials absorb relatively little energy prior to fracture, even those
of high strength.
30
Mechanical Properties Unit 5
o Brittleness:
Breaking is often accompanied by a snapping sound. Brittle materials
include most ceramics , glasses and concrete (which do not deform
plastically)
