Hooke's law was discovered in the 17th century by the Englishman Robert Hooke. This discovery about the stretching of a spring is one of the laws of elasticity theory and fulfills important role in science and technology.
Definition and formula of Hooke's law
The formulation of this law is as follows: the elastic force that appears at the moment of deformation of a body is proportional to the elongation of the body and is directed opposite to the movement of particles of this body relative to other particles during deformation.
The mathematical notation of the law looks like this:
Rice. 1. Formula of Hooke's law
Where Fupr– accordingly, the elastic force, x– elongation of the body (the distance by which the original length of the body changes), and k– proportionality coefficient, called body rigidity. Force is measured in Newtons, and elongation of a body is measured in meters.
For disclosure physical meaning stiffness, you need to substitute the unit in which elongation is measured in the formula for Hooke’s law - 1 m, having previously obtained an expression for k.
Rice. 2. Body stiffness formula
This formula shows that the stiffness of a body is numerically equal to the elastic force that occurs in the body (spring) when it is deformed by 1 m. It is known that the stiffness of a spring depends on its shape, size and the material from which the body is made.
Elastic force
Now that we know what formula expresses Hooke’s law, it is necessary to understand its basic value. The main quantity is the elastic force. It appears at a certain moment when the body begins to deform, for example, when a spring is compressed or stretched. It is sent to reverse side from gravity. When the elastic force and the force of gravity acting on the body become equal, the support and the body stop.
Deformation is irreversible changes, occurring with body size and shape. They are associated with the movement of particles relative to each other. If a person sits in easy chair, then the chair will become deformed, that is, its characteristics will change. It happens different types: bending, stretching, compression, shear, torsion.
Since the elastic force is related in origin to electromagnetic forces, you should know that it arises due to the fact that molecules and atoms - the smallest particles that make up all bodies - attract and repel each other. If the distance between the particles is very small, then they are affected by the repulsive force. If this distance is increased, then the force of attraction will act on them. Thus, the difference between attractive and repulsive forces manifests itself in elastic forces.
The elastic force includes the ground reaction force and body weight. The strength of the reaction is of particular interest. This is the force that acts on a body when it is placed on any surface. If the body is suspended, then the force acting on it is called the tension force of the thread.
Features of elastic forces
As we have already found out, the elastic force arises during deformation, and it is aimed at restoring the original shapes and sizes strictly perpendicular to the deformed surface. Elastic forces also have a number of features.
- they occur during deformation;
- they appear in two deformable bodies simultaneously;
- they are perpendicular to the surface in relation to which the body is deformed.
- they are opposite in direction to the displacement of body particles.
Application of the law in practice
Hooke's law is applied both in technical and high-tech devices, and in nature itself. For example, elastic forces are found in watch mechanisms, in shock absorbers in transport, in ropes, rubber bands, and even in human bones. The principle of Hooke's law underlies the dynamometer, a device used to measure force.
The coefficient E in this formula is called Young's modulus. Young's modulus depends only on the properties of the material and does not depend on the size and shape of the body. For various materials Young's modulus varies widely. For steel, for example, E ≈ 2·10 11 N/m 2 , and for rubber E ≈ 2·10 6 N/m 2 , that is, five orders of magnitude less.
Hooke's law can be generalized to the case of more complex deformations. For example, when bending deformation the elastic force is proportional to the deflection of the rod, the ends of which lie on two supports (Fig. 1.12.2).

Figure 1.12.2. Bend deformation.  |
The elastic force acting on the body from the side of the support (or suspension) is called ground reaction force. When the bodies come into contact, the support reaction force is directed perpendicular contact surfaces. That's why it's often called strength normal pressure. If a body lies on a horizontal stationary table, the support reaction force is directed vertically upward and balances the force of gravity: The force with which the body acts on the table is called body weight.
In technology, spiral-shaped springs(Fig. 1.12.3). When springs are stretched or compressed, elastic forces arise, which also obey Hooke's law. The coefficient k is called spring stiffness. Within the limits of applicability of Hooke's law, springs are capable of greatly changing their length. Therefore, they are often used to measure forces. A spring whose tension is measured in units of force is called dynamometer. It should be borne in mind that when a spring is stretched or compressed, complex torsional and bending deformations occur in its coils.

Unlike springs and some elastic materials (for example, rubber), the tensile or compressive deformation of elastic rods (or wires) obeys Hooke's linear law within very narrow limits. For metals, the relative deformation ε = x / l should not exceed 1%. With large deformations, irreversible phenomena (fluidity) and destruction of the material occur.
§ 10. Elastic force. Hooke's law
Types of deformations
Deformation called a change in the shape, size or volume of the body. Deformation can be caused by external forces applied to the body.
Deformations that completely disappear after the action of external forces on the body ceases are called elastic, and deformations that persist even after external forces have ceased to act on the body - plastic.
Distinguish tensile strain or compression(unilateral or comprehensive), bending, torsion And shift.
Elastic forces
For deformities solid its particles (atoms, molecules, ions), located at the nodes of the crystal lattice, are displaced from their equilibrium positions. This displacement is counteracted by the interaction forces between particles of a solid body, which keep these particles at a certain distance from each other. Therefore, with any type of elastic deformation in the body, internal forces, preventing its deformation.
The forces that arise in a body during its elastic deformation and are directed against the direction of displacement of the particles of the body caused by the deformation are called elastic forces. Elastic forces act in any section of a deformed body, as well as at the point of its contact with the body causing deformation. In the case of unilateral tension or compression, the elastic force is directed along the straight line along which the external force, causing deformation of the body, opposite to the direction of this force and perpendicular to the surface of the body. The nature of elastic forces is electrical.
We will consider the case of the occurrence of elastic forces during unilateral tension and compression of a solid body.
Hooke's law
The connection between the elastic force and the elastic deformation of a body (at small deformations) was experimentally established by Newton's contemporary, the English physicist Hooke. The mathematical expression of Hooke's law for unilateral tension (compression) deformation has the form
where f is the elastic force; x - elongation (deformation) of the body; k is a proportionality coefficient depending on the size and material of the body, called rigidity. The SI unit of stiffness is newton per meter (N/m).
Hooke's law for one-sided tension (compression) is formulated as follows: The elastic force arising during deformation of a body is proportional to the elongation of this body.
Let's consider an experiment illustrating Hooke's law. Let the axis of symmetry of the cylindrical spring coincide with the straight line Ax (Fig. 20, a). One end of the spring is fixed in the support at point A, and the second is free and the body M is attached to it. When the spring is not deformed, its free end is located at point C. This point will be taken as the origin of the coordinate x, which determines the position of the free end of the spring.
Let's stretch the spring so that its free end is at point D, the coordinate of which is x>0: At this point the spring acts on the body M with an elastic force
Let us now compress the spring so that its free end is at point B, whose coordinate is x<0. В этой точке пружина действует на тело М упругой силой
It can be seen from the figure that the projection of the elastic force of the spring onto the Ax axis always has a sign opposite to the sign of the x coordinate, since the elastic force is always directed towards the equilibrium position C. In Fig. 20, b shows a graph of Hooke's law. The values of elongation x of the spring are plotted on the abscissa axis, and the elastic force values are plotted on the ordinate axis. The dependence of fx on x is linear, so the graph is a straight line passing through the origin of coordinates.
Let's consider another experiment.
Let one end of a thin steel wire be fixed to a bracket, and a load suspended from the other end, the weight of which is an external tensile force F acting on the wire perpendicular to its cross section (Fig. 21).
The action of this force on the wire depends not only on the force modulus F, but also on the cross-sectional area of the wire S.
Under the influence of an external force applied to it, the wire is deformed and stretched. If the stretch is not too great, this deformation is elastic. In an elastically deformed wire, an elastic force f unit arises.
According to Newton's third law, the elastic force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the external force acting on the body, i.e.
f up = -F (2.10)
The state of an elastically deformed body is characterized by the value s, called normal mechanical stress(or, for short, just normal voltage). Normal stress s is equal to the ratio of the modulus of the elastic force to the cross-sectional area of the body:
s=f up /S (2.11)
Let the initial length of the unstretched wire be L 0 . After applying force F, the wire stretched and its length became equal to L. The value DL=L-L 0 is called absolute wire elongation. Size
called relative body elongation. For tensile strain e>0, for compressive strain e<0.
Observations show that for small deformations the normal stress s is proportional to the relative elongation e:
Formula (2.13) is one of the types of writing Hooke’s law for unilateral tension (compression). In this formula, the relative elongation is taken modulo, since it can be both positive and negative. The proportionality coefficient E in Hooke's law is called the longitudinal modulus of elasticity (Young's modulus).
Let us establish the physical meaning of Young's modulus. As can be seen from formula (2.12), e=1 and L=2L 0 with DL=L 0 . From formula (2.13) it follows that in this case s=E. Consequently, Young's modulus is numerically equal to the normal stress that should arise in the body if its length is doubled. (if Hooke's law were true for such a large deformation). From formula (2.13) it is also clear that in the SI Young’s modulus is expressed in pascals (1 Pa = 1 N/m2).
Tension diagram
Using formula (2.13), from the experimental values of the relative elongation e, one can calculate the corresponding values of the normal stress s arising in the deformed body and construct a graph of the dependence of s on e. This graph is called stretch diagram. A similar graph for a metal sample is shown in Fig. 22. In section 0-1, the graph looks like a straight line passing through the origin. This means that up to a certain stress value, the deformation is elastic and Hooke’s law is satisfied, i.e., the normal stress is proportional to the relative elongation. The maximum value of normal stress s p, at which Hooke’s law is still satisfied, is called limit of proportionality.
With a further increase in load, the dependence of stress on relative elongation becomes nonlinear (section 1-2), although the elastic properties of the body are still preserved. The maximum value s of normal stress, at which residual deformation does not yet occur, is called elastic limit. (The elastic limit exceeds the proportionality limit by only hundredths of a percent.) Increasing the load above the elastic limit (section 2-3) leads to the fact that the deformation becomes residual.
Then the sample begins to elongate at almost constant stress (section 3-4 of the graph). This phenomenon is called material fluidity. The normal stress s t at which the residual deformation reaches a given value is called yield strength.
At stresses exceeding the yield strength, the elastic properties of the body are restored to a certain extent, and it again begins to resist deformation (section 4-5 of the graph). The maximum value of normal stress spr, above which the sample ruptures, is called tensile strength.
Energy of an elastically deformed body
Substituting the values of s and e from formulas (2.11) and (2.12) into formula (2.13), we obtain
f up /S=E|DL|/L 0 .
whence it follows that the elastic force fуn, arising during deformation of the body, is determined by the formula
f up =ES|DL|/L 0 . (2.14)
Let us determine the work A def performed during deformation of the body, and the potential energy W of the elastically deformed body. According to the law of conservation of energy,
W=A def. (2.15)
As can be seen from formula (2.14), the modulus of the elastic force can change. It increases in proportion to the deformation of the body. Therefore, to calculate the work of deformation, it is necessary to take the average value of the elastic force
Then determined by the formula A def =
A def = ES|DL| 2 /2L 0 .
Substituting this expression into formula (2.15), we find the value of the potential energy of an elastically deformed body:
W=ES|DL| 2 /2L 0 . (2.17)
For an elastically deformed spring ES/L 0 =k is the spring stiffness; x is the extension of the spring. Therefore, formula (2.17) can be written in the form
W=kx 2 /2. (2.18)
Formula (2.18) determines the potential energy of an elastically deformed spring.

The relationship between what phenomena or quantities is expressed by the law:
Hooke's law relates phenomena such as stress and deformation of a solid, elastic modulus and elongation. The modulus of the elastic force arising during deformation of a body is proportional to its elongation. Elongation is a characteristic of the deformability of a material, assessed by the increase in the length of a sample of this material when stretched. Elastic force is a force that arises during deformation of a body and counteracts this deformation. Stress is a measure of internal forces that arise in a deformable body under the influence of external influences. Deformation is a change in the relative position of particles of a body associated with their movement relative to each other. These concepts are related by the so-called stiffness coefficient. It depends on the elastic properties of the material and the size of the body.
Statement of the law:
Hooke's law is an equation of the theory of elasticity that relates stress and deformation of an elastic medium.
The formulation of the law is that the elastic force is directly proportional to the deformation.
Mathematical expression of the law:
For a thin tensile rod, Hooke's law has the form:
Here F rod tension force, Δ l- its elongation (compression), and k called elasticity coefficient(or rigidity). The minus in the equation indicates that the tension force is always directed in the direction opposite to the deformation.
If you enter the relative elongation
abnormal stress in cross section
then Hooke's law will be written like this
In this form it is valid for any small volumes of matter.
In the general case, stress and strain are tensors of the second rank in three-dimensional space (they have 9 components each). The tensor of elastic constants connecting them is a tensor of the fourth rank C ijkl and contains 81 coefficients. Due to the symmetry of the tensor C ijkl, as well as stress and strain tensors, only 21 constants are independent. Hooke's law looks like this:
where σ ij- stress tensor, - strain tensor. For an isotropic material, the tensor C ijkl contains only two independent coefficients.
How was the law discovered: based on experimental data or theoretically:
The law was discovered in 1660 by the English scientist Robert Hooke (Hook) based on observations and experiments. The discovery, as stated by Hooke in his essay “De potentia restitutiva”, published in 1678, was made by him 18 years earlier, and in 1676 it was placed in another of his books under the guise of the anagram “ceiiinosssttuv”, meaning “Ut tensio sic vis” . According to the author's explanation, the above law of proportionality applies not only to metals, but also to wood, stones, horn, bones, glass, silk, hair, etc.
Experienced facts on the basis of which the law was formulated:
History is silent about this..
Experiments confirming the validity of the law formulated on the basis of the theory:
The law is formulated on the basis of experimental data. Indeed, when stretching a body (wire) with a certain stiffness coefficient k to a distance Δ l, then their product will be equal in magnitude to the force stretching the body (wire). This relationship will hold true, however, not for all deformations, but for small ones. With large deformations, Hooke's law ceases to apply and the body collapses.
Examples of using the law and taking into account the effect of the law in practice:
As follows from Hooke's law, the elongation of a spring can be used to judge the force acting on it. This fact is used to measure forces using a dynamometer - a spring with a linear scale calibrated for different force values.

CONTROL QUESTIONS
1) What is called deformation? What types of deformations do you know?
Deformation- a change in the relative position of body particles associated with their movement. Deformation is the result of changes in interatomic distances and rearrangement of blocks of atoms. Typically, deformation is accompanied by a change in the magnitude of interatomic forces, the measure of which is elastic stress.
Types of deformations:
Tension-compression- in the resistance of materials - a type of longitudinal deformation of a rod or beam that occurs if a load is applied to it along its longitudinal axis (the resultant of the forces acting on it is normal to the cross section of the rod and passes through its center of mass).
Tension causes elongation of the rod (rupture and residual deformation are also possible), compression causes shortening of the rod (loss of stability and longitudinal bending are possible).
Bend- a type of deformation in which there is a curvature of the axes of straight bars or a change in the curvature of the axes of curved bars. Bending is associated with the occurrence of bending moments in the cross sections of the beam. Direct bending occurs when the bending moment in a given cross-section of a beam acts in a plane passing through one of the main central axes of inertia of this section. In the case when the plane of action of the bending moment in a given cross section of the beam does not pass through any of the main axes of inertia of this section, it is called oblique.
If, during direct or oblique bending, only a bending moment acts in the cross section of the beam, then, accordingly, there is a pure straight or pure oblique bend. If a transverse force also acts in the cross section, then there is a transverse straight or transverse oblique bend.
Torsion- one of the types of body deformation. Occurs when a load is applied to a body in the form of a pair of forces (moment) in its transverse plane. In this case, only one internal force factor appears in the cross sections of the body - torque. Tension-compression springs and shafts work for torsion.
Types of deformation of a solid body. Deformation is elastic and plastic.
Deformation solid body can be a consequence of phase transformations associated with changes in volume, thermal expansion, magnetization (magnetostrictive effect), the appearance of an electric charge (piezoelectric effect) or the result of the action of external forces.
A deformation is called elastic if it disappears after the load that caused it is removed, and plastic if it does not disappear (at least completely) after the load is removed. All real solids, when deformed, have plastic properties to a greater or lesser extent. Under certain conditions, the plastic properties of bodies can be neglected, as is done in the theory of elasticity. With sufficient accuracy, a solid body can be considered elastic, that is, it does not exhibit noticeable plastic deformations until the load exceeds a certain limit.
The nature of plastic deformation can vary depending on temperature, duration of load or strain rate. With a constant load applied to the body, the deformation changes with time; this phenomenon is called creep. As temperature increases, the creep rate increases. Special cases of creep are relaxation and elastic aftereffect. One of the theories explaining the mechanism of plastic deformation is the theory of dislocations in crystals.

4) What is called the shear modulus and torsional modulus, what is their physical meaning?
Shear modulus or stiffness modulus (G or μ) characterizes the ability of a material to resist changes in shape while maintaining its volume; it is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear strain, defined as the change in the right angle between the planes along which shear stresses act). The shear modulus is one of the components of the viscosity phenomenon.
Shear modulus:
Torsion modulus: 
5) What is the mathematical expression of Hooke's law? In what units are elastic modulus and stress measured?
Measured in Pa, - Hooke's law
Hooke's law usually called linear relationships between strain components and stress components.
Let's take an elementary rectangular parallelepiped with faces parallel to the coordinate axes, loaded with normal stress σ x, evenly distributed over two opposite faces (Fig. 1). Wherein σy = σ z = τ x y = τ x z = τ yz = 0.
Up to the limit of proportionality, the relative elongation is given by the formula
Where E— tensile modulus of elasticity. For steel E = 2*10 5 MPa, therefore, the deformations are very small and are measured as a percentage or 1 * 10 5 (in strain gauge devices that measure deformations).
Extending an element in the axis direction X accompanied by its narrowing in the transverse direction, determined by the deformation components
Where μ - a constant called the lateral compression ratio or Poisson's ratio. For steel μ usually taken to be 0.25-0.3.
If the element in question is loaded simultaneously with normal stresses σ x, σy, σ z, evenly distributed along its faces, then deformations are added
By superimposing the deformation components caused by each of the three stresses, we obtain the relations
These relationships are confirmed by numerous experiments. Applied overlay method or superpositions to find the total strains and stresses caused by several forces is legitimate as long as the strains and stresses are small and linearly dependent on the applied forces. In such cases, we neglect small changes in the dimensions of the deformed body and small movements of the points of application of external forces and base our calculations on the initial dimensions and initial shape of the body.
It should be noted that the smallness of the displacements does not necessarily mean that the relationships between forces and deformations are linear. So, for example, in a compressed force Q rod loaded additionally with shear force R, even with small deflection δ an additional point arises M = Qδ, which makes the problem nonlinear. In such cases, the total deflections are not linear functions of the forces and cannot be obtained by simple superposition.
It has been experimentally established that if shear stresses act along all faces of the element, then the distortion of the corresponding angle depends only on the corresponding components of the shear stress.
Constant G called the shear modulus of elasticity or shear modulus.
The general case of deformation of an element due to the action of three normal and three tangential stress components on it can be obtained using superposition: three shear deformations, determined by relations (5.2b), are superimposed on three linear deformations determined by expressions (5.2a). Equations (5.2a) and (5.2b) determine the relationship between the components of strains and stresses and are called generalized Hooke's law. Let us now show that the shear modulus G expressed in terms of tensile modulus of elasticity E and Poisson's ratio μ . To do this, consider the special case when σ x = σ , σy = -σ And σ z = 0.
Let's cut out the element abcd planes parallel to the axis z and inclined at an angle of 45° to the axes X And at(Fig. 3). As follows from the equilibrium conditions of element 0 bс, normal stress σ v on all faces of the element abcd are equal to zero, and the shear stresses are equal
This state of tension is called pure shear. From equations (5.2a) it follows that
that is, the extension of the horizontal element is 0 c equal to the shortening of the vertical element 0 b: εy = -ε x.
Angle between faces ab And bc changes, and the corresponding shear strain value γ can be found from triangle 0 bс:
It follows that
