Solid Mechanics 2 Marks Question with Answers UNIT -1 1. Define stress. When an external force acts on a body, it undergoes deformation. At the same time the body resists deformation. The magnitude of the resisting force is numerically equal to the applied force. This internal resisting force per unit area is called stress. Stress = Force/Area 2. Define strain When a body is subjected to an external force, there is some change of dimension in the body. Numerically the strain ...

Musculoskeletal Flexibility The ability to move a joint freely through its full ROM the incidence of "Lower Back Pain" in the United States 75 million; 80% is attributed to flexibility What is the primary cause of lower back pain? Low Flexibility Describe Elastic Deformation Results in a temporary and reversible change in length of tissue (Rubberband) Describe Plastic Deformation Occurs when tissue is stretched beyond the elastic component of the tissue. It results in relatively pe...
