Deformation of Solids
💗 Solid is characterized by very packed particles and they are not free to move around within the substance. A solid can change its shape when pressure is applied to it. The forces applied to the solids will amend the position of the solid particles and its spacings. This will then changes the external structure or shape and size of the solid, which defines deformation of solids.
- Stress is the measure of the force required to
cause solid deformation.
- A strain is the measure of the degree of deformation. The strain is given as a fractional change in either the length, geometry or volume. It is a dimensionless number.
- The greater the stress, the greater the strain. The proportionality constant in this relation is known as the Young's modulus,Y .
Stress = Young's modulus,Y ❌ strain
- The ratio of stress to
strain is known as Young's modulus. It defines the amount of force required per unit deformation.
Types of Deformation
💚Deformation can be of two
types as follows:
- Permanent
Deformation –
Also known as plastic deformation, It is a type of deformation
that stays even after the applied forces are removed.
- Temporary Deformation – Also known as elastic deformation, it is
reversible. It is a type of deformation that disappears after the applied forces are removed.
💜When a force is applied onto a material , the material experiences elastic deformation followed by plastic deformation. The transition from elastic to plastic state is characterized by the yield strength of the material.
