Stress definition - ANS✔✔---the tension divided by the cross-sectional
area σ = F/A, Units: Nm^-2/ Pa


Strain definition - ANS✔✔---The extension divided by the original
length ε = x/L, No units

, ]

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

Stress strain graph for ductile materials - ANS✔✔---

Metals - ANS✔✔ -- Crystalline lattice
