Elastic strain energy - ANS✔✔---Area under a force-extension graph
Elastic strain energy equation - ANS✔✔---E = 1/2kx^2
Energy stored in a spring - ANS✔✔---1/2kx^2
Extension equation - ANS✔✔---Extension = new length - old length
plastic deformation - ANS✔✔---permanent deformation caused by
strain when stress exceeds a certain value
elastic deformation - ANS✔✔---region where the material will return to
its original shape when the stress is removed
Young's Modulus - ANS✔✔---A measure of the stiffness of an elastic
material and defined by stress/strain.
E = stress/ strain
E = (F/A)/(x/L)
E = gradient of stress strain graph.
Units: Pa or Nm^-2
