Topic 4: Simple Strain

Deformation – is a change in one’s body shape,size, or length.


Strain - is the ratio between the deformation and the original length of a material.

Hooke’s Law

σ = 𝐄𝜺
E - Young’s modulus; indicates the stiffness of
a material, which can also be used to measure
a material’s resistance to deformation.
Strain - is the ratio between the deformation and the original length of a material.

Formula can be used only if:

1.) The load is an axial.


2.) The material is homogeneous.
3.) The cross-section is uniform throughout.
4.) The stress applied doesn’t exceed the proportional limit.
A steel wire 30 ft long, hanging vertically, supports a load of 500 lb. Neglecting the weight of
the wire, determine the required diameter if the stress is not to exceed 20 ksi and the total
elongation is not to exceed 0.20 in. Assume E = 29 × 106 psi.
