Stress-Strain Relationship for Linear Isotropic Material
The stress-strain relationship in a linear material describes how a material deforms under load, following Hooke’s Law in the elastic region. In linear elastic materials, stress (σ) is directly proportional to strain (ε) within a certain range, meaning that if the load doubles, the deformation also doubles. This relationship is represented by the equation:
σ=E⋅ϵ
where E is the Young’s modulus, a constant that measures the material’s stiffness. This linear relationship holds until the material reaches its yield point, after which permanent deformation occurs. In engineering, understanding this relationship helps predict material behavior under load and ensures structures remain within safe deformation limits.
