Calculating Material Properties with Hooke's Law

AI Thread Summary
Calculating mechanical properties using Hooke's Law involves understanding the relationship between stress and elastic strain in materials. While Hooke's Law applies to solids in tension and compression until yielding occurs, its application in fluids and gases focuses on compressibility. The discussion highlights the need for both values and formulas for solids, liquids, and plasmas for academic research. Resources such as handbooks on solid mechanics and fluid mechanics are recommended for further study. Comprehensive understanding of these principles is essential for developing accurate constitutive models in material science.

i need some information regarding following subject.

Calculating mechanical properties of certain material(solid , Liquid, Plasma) form Hooke's Law of elasticity.

σ = E¹ε + E²ε˙ + E³ε¨

Thanks

Are you sure you want this info for fluids rather than solids ?
 
as i metioned i want the info for solid ,liquid , plasma
 
Are you looking for the data (values) of the properties for specific materials, or the formulas, or both?

Hooke's law simply relates the stress in a material to the elastic strain. In solids, that applies in tension and compression, up the the point where the material yields, i.e. starts to undergo permanent (plastic deformation), at which point Hooke's law does not apply if load continues to increase.

In fluids and gases, elasticity applies under compression and really refers to compressibility.

The relationship between shear and normal pressure/forces in fluids and gases is different than in solids.

Are you trying to develop constitutive models?

Astronuc thanks for your reply.

well i am looking for both values and the formulas. my university porf. have assigned me this research so i should write an article about it.
 
Look at the following documents for some information on solid mechanics.

http://www.ncees.org/exams/study_materials/fe_handbook/fe_mechanics_of_materials.pdf

DOE Fundamentals Handbook, Material Science, Volume 1 of 2 (102 pages)

The DOE handbook collection is found at:

Look in the library for books on Fluid Mechanics, and also online -

For Plasmas, you'll need to find a text on Fusion Engineering or Plasma Physics. Two authors who come to mind are Robert A. Gross, who's book "Fusion Engineering," has a chapter (5) on Tokamak Confinement Physics, and a book by George Miley, "Fusion Energy Conversion".

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
