Compressive stress

Hooke’s Law and Young’s Modulus Hooke’s Law About 350 years ago, a scientist named Robert Hooke discovered that the extension of a material is proportional to the stretching force provided that the material is not permanently stretched. This is now known as Hooke’s law. According to Hooke’s law, doubling the Read more…
