and size only when the deformation
caused by the external force is within a
certain limit.

limiting force is known as the “elastic
limit” of the material.

Hooke’s Law and
Elastic Modulii

▪ Hooke’s law states that when a material


is loaded within elastic limit, the stress is
proportional to strain produced by the
stress.

strain is constant, it called as Modulus of
elasticity or Modulus of rigidity or Elastic

46
unknowns.

𝐿
ends fixed, if k is considered proportional to I/L
for span AB correspondingly. and for the beam
CD with far end D as hinged the k is proportional
to 0.75 I/L.
