Stress & Strain | Mechanical Properties of Solids-   Before you go through this article, make sure that you have gone through the previous articles on Stress and Strain.   We have learnt- When a deforming force is applied on a body, a restoring force is produced in it. This restoring force per unit area […]

Stress | Mechanical Properties of Solids-   Before you go through this article, make sure that you have gone through the previous article on Stress & Its Types.   We have learnt- Under the action of deforming force, the original configuration of the body changes. The restoring force developed inside the body tries to restore […]

Mechanical Properties of Solids-   Before you go through this article, make sure that you have gone through the previous article on Introduction to Elasticity.   We have learnt- Under the action of deforming force, the original configuration of the body changes. The molecules of the body suffers a relative displacement which gives rise to […]
