(ii) Perfectly inelastic/plastic solids: These are solids which do not come back to
their original configuration at all after the removal of deforming force. They have
a permanent set in their configuration
e.g. bakelite, mud and Putty. Putty and mud are close to ideal plastics.
(iii) Partly elastic solids: They partly regain their original configuration after the
removal of deforming force.
Mostly all solids are partly elastic.
➢ STRESS AND STRAIN:
➢ STRESS: The internal restoring force acting per unit area of a body is called stress
When a deforming force is applied on an object, it changes the configuration of
the object by changing the normal positions of the molecules or atoms of the
body. As a result, an internal restoring force comes into play, which tends to
bring the body back to its original configuration.

➢ TYPES OF STRESS:
Normal force(Fn )
Longitudinal stress =
area(A)
Longitudinal stress is of two types
(a) Tensile stress: When length of the object is increased on application of
deforming force over it, then stress produced in object is called tensile stress.
(b) Compressive stress: When length of the object is decreased on application
of deforming force, then the stress produced is called compressive stress.
2. SHEARING OR TANGNETIAL STRESS:
When the force is applied tangentially to a
surface, then it is called tangential or
shearing stress.
It produces change in shape, volume
remaining same.

3. VOLUMETRIC STRESS: When a force is applied on an object such that it
produces a change in volume such that density and shape remaining same. Then
force per unit area is called volumetric stress.
1. At any point, the force is perpendicular to its surface.
2. At any small area the magnitude of force is directly proportional to its area.

➢ STRAIN:
When a deforming force is applied on a body, there is a change in the
configuration of the body. The body is said to be strained or deformed. The ratio
of change in configuration to the original configuration is called strain.
Strain being the ratio of two like quantities, has no units and dimensions.

➢ TYPES OF STRAIN:
1. LONGITUDINAL STRAIN: It is defined as the change in length per unit original
length of the object under deformation by the external force.

➢ HOOKE’S LAW: Hook’s law states that within the elastic limit, stress is
proportional to strain. The ratio of stress to strain is a constant called modulus
of elasticity. Modulus of elasticity is a material property which does not depend
on size and shape of the body.
The unit and dimensions of modulus of elasticity is same as stress I,e. Nm-2

➢ TYPES OF MODULAS OF ELASTICITY:
1. YOUNG’S MODULAS OF ELASTICITY(Y): It is the ratio of longitudinal stress to
longitudinal strain within the elastic limit.

(iii) Beyond B : If the wire is loaded further, the strain increases rapidly than the
corresponding stress.
If the load is removed
from any point
beyond B (say C), the
wire does not come
back to its original
length but traverses
the dotted line CE as
shown in figure. Even
on reducing the stress zero, a small strain equal to OE is left in the wire, and the
material is said to have a permanent set.
(iv) Beyond C : If the wire is loaded beyond C, a large increase in strain is
observed until point D is reached at which fracture (failure) takes place. From B
to D, the material is said to undergo plastic flow, which is irreversible. The stress
corresponding to the fracture point is called ultimate or breaking strength.
➢ ELASTIC HYSTERESIS: During loading unloading of a material the stress-strain
curve do not superimpose itself. Some
energy is lost as heat during the loading-
unloading process. The phenomenon of
the stress-strain curve not retracing its
path while unloading is called elastic
hysteresis.
restored to its original length. But any stage of loading and unloading, strain is
not proportional to stress. The fact that stress-strain curve is not retraced on
unloading, is known as elastic hysteresis.
➢ EXPANSION DUE TO SELF WEIGHT:

A = area of cross section

BENDING OF BEAM:
Beam is the structural member which can
carry transverse load. A simply supported
beam is supported at its ends. A cantilever
beam is fixed at one end.
