when do metals show elastic behaviour?
for very small strains
what is the Young’s modulus equation?
σ = Eε
what is Young’s modulus?
resistance of a material to elastic deformation
what are the units for Young’s modulus?
Pa or N/m^2
what is Poisson’s ratio equation?
v = - lateral strain / axial strain
what is the symbol for Poisson’s ratio?
v
what are the units for Poisson ratio?
dimensionless
what is an isotropic solid?
has uniform physical properties in all directions
what is volumetric strain equation?
= ΔV / V0 ~ εx (1 - 2v)
where εx = ε in x direction
