Elasticity
Longitudinal Strain/tensible or compressive strain:
The ratio of changes in length to the original length of the body
under the action of deforming force/normal stress is known as
longitudinal strain.
i.e. Longitudinal strain =
L
L


Volume strain/Volumetric/Bulk/Hydraulic strain:
The ration of change in volume, I to the original volume of the
body under the action of deforming force/normal stress, is known as
volumetric strain.
i.e. Volumetric strain =
v
v


Shear strain/Tangential strain:
It is the ratio of lateral displacement(x) to the perpendicular
distance(l) between displaced surface and fixed surface.
i.e. Shear strain=
x
I

Also from figure,
tan 0 =
x
I

When 0 is very small then 0 = 0

0 =
x
I

i.e. Shear strain = 0 =
x
I

Hence, Shear strain can also be defined as the angle (in radian) through
which a line (plane) originally perpendicular to the fixed surface is
turned.



Elastic Limit:
The upper limit of the deforming force up to which if the
deforming force is removed the body regains its original form beyond
which if the deforming force is increased and removed then body loses
its elastic property and gets permanently deformed is known as elastic
limit.

Point to Remember: On increasing temperature, elastic property
decreases and vice-versa.
