Hooke’s Law
Applications of Hooke’s Law
The applications of Hooke’s law are as given below:
1. Most commonly, in everyday life, Hooke’s Law is
applied in springs because of their elasticity.
2. They are used not only in the Engineering field but
also used in the field of Medical Science.
3. It is used in breathing (lungs), skin, spring beds, diving
boards and car suspension systems.
4. It is used as a fundamental principle behind the
manometer, spring scale and balance wheel of the
clock.
5. It is also used as the foundation for seismology,
acoustics and molecular mechanics.
Disadvantages of Applying
Hooke’s Law:
-------Strain--------------
Stress Strain Curve
• The diagram begins with a straight line from the origin O to point A, which means that the
relationship between stress and strain in this initial region is not only linear but also
proportional (Two variables are said to be proportional if their ratio remains constant.
• The slope of the straight line from O to A is called the modulus of elasticity. Because the
slope has units of stress divided by strain, modulus of elasticity has the same units as stress
• Beyond point A, the proportionality between stress and strain no longer exists; hence the
stress at A is called the proportional limit
• With an increase in stress beyond the proportional limit, the strain begins to increase more
rapidly for each increment in stress. Consequently, the stress-strain curve has a smaller and
smaller slope, until, at point B, the curve becomes horizontal.
