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)
http://www.eh.doe.gov/techstds/standard/hdbk1017/h1017v1.pdf

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".

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
