Difference Between Stress and Strain in Strength of Materials

In mechanics of solids, the knowledge of difference between stress and strain is very important. When an external force is applied on a body, it starts to deform. the external force applied on the body induces a resisting force within the body, when this resisting force is taken on unit area is called stress. There […]

Elastic Constants – Young’s Modulus, Modulus of Rigidity and Bulk Modulus

In this article, you will learn about the Elastic Constant – Young’s modulus, Modulus of rigidity, and Bulk modulus. We will also discuss the difference between Young’s modulus, Modulus of rigidity, and Bulk modulus. The various elastic constants in the strength of materials are Young’s modulus or modulus of elasticity Modulus of rigidity or Shear

What is Poisson’s Ratio in Strength of Materials?

In this article, you will learn about what is poisson’s ratio, longitudinal Strain and lateral strain. We will also find the formula of Poisson’s ratio, lateral strain and longitudinal strain. What is Poisson’s Ratio Poisson’s Ratio: It is defined as the ratio of lateral strain to the longitudinal strain within elastic limit. It means that

What is Elasticity, Elastic Limit, Young’s Modulus and Modulus of Rigidity in Strength of Materials?

In this article, we will learn about what is elasticity, elastic limit, young’s modulus and modulus of rigidity. These terms keeps an important role in the study of subject strength of materials. Understanding about stress and strain is possible when one must have the knowledge of these terms. Let’s discuss about them one by one.
