The objective of this course is to introduce graduate and senior undergraduate students to advanced topics in linear elasticity. Students will build on the knowledge gained through all mechanics ...

In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by Hooke's law: s = E e. E is an elastic constant, Young's modulus. A material exhibiting this behavior over ...

The diagrams opposite show stress-strain curves for a linear elastic material such as a metal (top) and a non-linear elastic material such as rubber (bottom). If these materials are taken to some ...

This book gives an introduction to the key ideas and principles in the theory of elasticity with the help of symbolic computation. Differential and integral operators on vector and tensor fields of ...

For a linear elastic material, there is always a constant relationship between the applied stress and the resulting strain, regardless the magnitude of the stress and the strain. The stress strain ...

Materials like clay or putty usually show non-linear extension. Linear extension and elastic deformation can be seen below the elastic limit.
