2. Elasticity
Deformation
All materials are deformable.
There are two Deformations
1. Elastic deformation
As we have hinted at before, elastic
deformation is a deformation which is
reversible.
2. plastic deformation
Plastic deformation is characterised by a
permanent deformation.
3. Elastic deformation
As we have hinted at before, elastic deformation is a
deformation which is reversible.
There is no permanent deformation of the substance,
meaning that it will return to its original dimensions.
The stress could be tensile or compressive.
1
4. Elastic deformation
The particles that make up the substance are each being
displaced a little from their nearest neighbours and then
returning to their original positions.
The particles are, of course, in constant thermal motion
about fixed positions but we shall just deal with the fixed
positions.
Before the particles are put under compression, they will
be in fixed positions where the net forces of attraction and
repulsion are zero, as indicated in the diagram above.
5. Elastic deformation
The particles that make up the substance are each being
displaced a little from their nearest neighbours and then
returning to their original positions.
If a compressive force is applied from the right in our
diagram, each particle will be displaced one unit to the
left, relative to its nearest neighbour.
F
6. Elastic deformation
The particles that make up the substance are each being
displaced a little from their nearest neighbours and then
returning to their original positions.
And, of course, a bigger force causes even more
compression.
The change in position of each particle is clearly shown
by the yellow lines.
The compression, Δl, is also shown.

7. Elastic deformation
The particles that make up the substance are each being
displaced a little from their nearest neighbours and then
returning to their original positions.
And, of course, the process is elastic, so the particles will
always return to their original equilibrium positions.

8. Elastic deformation
The particles that make up the substance are each
being displaced a little from their nearest neighbours
and then returning to their original positions.
If you are confirming elastic behaviour
with a sample, then to see if the sample
returns to its original shape and size when
unstressed.

9. Elastic deformation
Materials which exhibit elastic properties include:
When stressed up to, and
sometimes beyond, the limit
of proportionality, solid
metals will exhibit elastic
behaviour.
Most metals have a fairly
large elastic range. 4
10. Elastic deformation
Materials which exhibit elastic
properties include:
Thermoplastics are a group of
plastics that can be melted by the
application of heat and then
cooled back to a solid repeatedly.

11. Elastic deformation
Materials which exhibit elastic properties include:
Many composites are
manufactured with their
elastic behaviour in mind.
These include carbon fibre
and plywood which have
both been used in the
manufacture of aircraft
fuselages.
7

12. Plastic deformation
Plastic deformation is characterised by a permanent
deformation.
When a sample is unloaded, it
does not return to its original
length or shape.
It is likely to be thinner, if tensile
stresses have been applied and
wider, if compressive stresses
have been applied.
When unloading, the contraction
is likely to be proportional to the
decrease in load.
9
13. Plastic deformation
Substances that exhibit plastic deformation include:
After showing elastic behaviour
for moderate loads,
thermoplastics then show a
plastic region before they finally
break.
Substantial necking can occur. 10
14. Plastic deformation
Substances that exhibit plastic deformation
include:
After showing elastic behaviour for
moderate loads, many metals then
show a plastic region before they
finally break.
11
12 13
15. Plastic deformation
Plastic deformation cannot occur due to molecules
being pulled a “little” way apart so they are still next to
their nearest neighbour.
If that was the case, they would just slip back to their
original positions when the external force (stress) was
removed and the substance would return to its original
shape.
What does happen is that one plane of particles slips
over the surface of another. There is no return from this
new position so the deformation is permanent.
F
16. Plastic deformation
You will notice that:
•The sample is now longer than it was
•The sample is now thinner that it was
•The positions of many of the particles, relative to
each other, have changed – this creates the
permanent deformation
17. Plastic deformation
•Many substances exhibit both plastic and elastic
deformation, depending on the stress applied and the
substance used
•On loading (stressing) the material, it will first show
elastic deformation, then possibly plastic deformation
•When unloaded, the contraction will be in proportion
to the change in load
18. Restoring Force
A variable force that gives rise to
an equilibrium
The restoring force is a function only of
position of the mass or particle. e.g.
spring.
Opposite force
14
20. DIRECT STRESS
When a force is applied to an elastic body, the
body deforms. The way in which the body
deforms depends upon the type of force applied
to it.
Compression force makes the
body shorter.
A tensile force makes the
body longer

DIRECT STRAIN
In each case, a force F produces a deformation x. In
engineering, we usually change this force into stress and
the deformation into strain and we define these as follows:
Strain is the deformation per unit of the original length.
The symbol = (EPSILON)
Strain has no unit’s since it is a ratio of length to
length. Most engineering materials do not stretch
very mush before they become damages, so strain
values are very small figures. It is quite normal to
change small numbers in to the exponent for 10-6(
micro strain).

DESIGN OR SAFETY FACTORS
18
Many factors affect the behavior of a structure. As a structural engineer, you have little control over many of these factors
For example, although you design the structure for a given load, there is no guarantee that the structure will not experience higher loads.
Engineers can’t control the quality of the building materials used. What if a beam has a flaw that is not identified before it is installed?
What if a construction worker fails to install all of the bolts in a connection and the error is not identified during inspection?
A factor of safety is used to provide a comfort zone that can allow a margin of error for unforeseen circumstances that can adversely affect a building’s performance.
The maximum safe load may be different depending on the design method used. We will use the allowable strength design method so that the maximum safe load is considered the load at which the member will reach the yield point.
In other words, the maximum allowable load is set to a level well below the maximum safe load by a factor of safety. If the factor of safety is two, this means that the structure element must be designed so that the member is twice as strong as it theoretically needs to be in an ideal situation.
