where ε is the strain due to the stress applied, δl is the change in length and L is the original length of the material.
The strain is a dimensionless quantity as it just defines the relative change in shape.
Types of Strain
Strain experienced by a body can be of two types depending on stress application as follows:
Tensile Strain
The deformation or elongation of a solid body due to applying a tensile force or stress is known as Tensile strain. In other words, tensile strain is produced when a body increases in length as applied forces try to stretch it.
Compressive Strain
Compressive strain is the deformation in a solid due to the application of compressive stress. In other words, compressive strain is produced when a body decreases in length when equal and opposite forces try to compress it.
Stress-Strain Curve
When we study solids and their mechanical properties, information regarding their elastic properties is most important. We can learn about the elastic properties of materials by studying the stress-strain relationships, under different loads, in these materials.
The material’s stress-strain curve gives its stress-strain relationship. In a stress-strain curve, the stress and its corresponding strain values are plotted. An example of a stress-strain curve is given below.
Explaining Stress-Strain Graph
The different regions in the stress-strain diagram are:
(i) Proportional Limit
It is the region in the stress-strain curve that obeys Hooke’s Law. In this limit, the stress-strain ratio gives us a proportionality constant known as Young’s modulus. The point OA in the graph represents the proportional limit.
(ii) Elastic Limit
It is the point in the graph up to which the material returns to its original position when the load acting on it is completely removed. Beyond this limit, the material doesn’t return to its original position, and a plastic deformation starts to appear in it.
(iii) Yield Point
The yield point is defined as the point at which the material starts to deform plastically. After the yield point is passed, permanent plastic deformation occurs. There are two yield points (i) upper yield point (ii) lower yield point.
(iv) Ultimate Stress Point
It is a point that represents the maximum stress that a material can endure before failure. Beyond this point, failure occurs.
(v) Fracture or Breaking Point
It is the point in the stress-strain curve at which the failure of the material takes place.
Hooke’s Law
In the 19th-century, while studying springs and elasticity, English scientist Robert Hooke noticed that many materials exhibited a similar property when the stress-strain relationship was studied. There was a linear region where the force required to stretch the material was proportional to the extension of the material, known as Hooke’s Law.
Hooke’s Law states that the strain of the material is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material.
Mathematically, Hooke’s law is commonly expressed as:
F = –k.x
Where F is the force, x is the extension in length, and k is the constant of proportionality known as the spring constant in N/m.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
Q1
What does the stress-strain curve show?
A stress-strain curve is a graphical way to show the reaction of a material when a load is applied. It shows a comparison between stress and strain.
Q2
What is the use of the stress-strain diagram?
The stress-strain diagram provides a graphical measurement of the strength and elasticity of the material. Also, the behaviour of the materials can be studied with the help of the stress-strain diagram, which makes it easy to understand the application of these materials.
Q3
What is the relation between stress and strain?
The relation between stress and strain is that they are directly proportional to each other up to an elastic limit. Hooke’s law explains the relationship between stress and strain. According to Hooke’s law, the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress and this should be within the elastic limit of that solid.
Q4
What is the yield point in stress-strain graph?
Yield point is defined as the point at which the material starts to deform plastically. After the yield point is passed, permanent plastic deformation occurs.
Q5
How to make a stress-strain curve?
The stress-strain curve is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined.

Hooke's Law states that the strain of the material is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material. Mathematically, Hooke's law is commonly expressed as: F = –k.x.
Since the S.I units of Force and Area are Newton (N), and meter squared ( ) respectively, the S.I unit of Stress is: N / m 2 , or pascal (Pa). The strain is defined as the ratio fo the change in the length/volume of the object, to the original length of the object.
A stress-strain curve is a graphical depiction of a material's behavior when subjected to increasing loads. Stress is defined as the ratio of force to cross-sectional area, while strain is defined as the ratio of the change in length of a dimension to the dimension's original length.
Subscript 0 denotes the original dimensions of the sample. The SI derived unit for stress is newtons per square metre, or pascals (1 pascal = 1 Pa = 1 N/m2), and strain is unitless.
EXPLANATION: Hooke's law states that within the elastic limit the stress applied on a body is directly proportional to strain produced. So the Hooke's law defines the elastic limit.
Stress is the measure of an external force acting over the cross sectional area of an object. Stress has units of force per area: N/m2 (SI) or lb/in2 (US). The SI units are commonly referred to as Pascals, abbreviated Pa.
Strain has dimension of a length ratio, with SI base units of meter per meter (m/m). Hence strains are dimensionless and are usually expressed as a decimal fraction or a percentage.
Hooke's law shows that the force needed to the material to expand or compress by some distance. The stress and strain diagram shows that the behaviour of the material under the gradual increase of the load. The stress and diagram can be drawn for all the material, to know its behaviour under different load conditions.
Stress strain curves visually display the material's deformation in response to a tensile, compressive, or torsional load. Depending on the material being tested, a stress strain curve can indicate key properties of the material including its elastic region, plastic region, yield point, and ultimate tensile strength.
stress = (elastic modulus) × strain. stress = (elastic modulus) × strain. As we can see from dimensional analysis of this relation, the elastic modulus has the same physical unit as stress because strain is dimensionless.
The Stress curve is a graphical representation of how stress can affect someone. It uses a curved line to show how our performance level can rise, peak and fall as demands increase. It shows how some stress can help us work at our best but also what happens when demands become too much.
The change in length, compared to the original length, is strain. Although it has no dimensions, strain is usually expressed in units represented as ε, which is in/in or mm/mm. Since the magnitude of the measured strain is small, the standard practice is to use units of microstrain (µε), which is [ε x 10^-6].
The true stress – true strain curve gives an accurate view of the stress-strain relationship, one where the stress is not dropping after exceeding the tensile strength stress level. True stress is determined by dividing the tensile load by the instantaneous area.
The proportional limit is the point on a stress-strain curve where the linear, elastic deformation region transitions into a non-linear, plastic deformation region. In other words, the proportional limit determines the greatest stress that is directly proportional to strain.
Stress cannot be measured directly and is therefore inferred from a measure of strain and a constant known as Young's modulus of elasticity. The relationship is given by σ = E* ε, where σ represents stress, ε represents strain and E represents Young's modulus of elasticity.
In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fs = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total ...
These calculations are based on Hooke's Law. In its simplest form, Hooke's Law determines the direct proportionality of the strain ε [m/m] and the stress σ [N/mm2] of a certain material using its elasticity or Young's modulus E [N/mm2].
The unit of strain is unitless because it is a ratio of two lengths. The change in length and the original length have the same units, so they cancel out. This means that strain has no units.
