Dans une première période appelée à tort période élastique et que nous désignerons sous le nom de période des petits allongements, les allongements sont très faibles et sont sensiblement proportionnels aux efforts. De plus, quand l'effort cesse, la barre reprend à peu de chose près sa longueur primitive. 7, record 1, French, - phase%20%C3%A9lastique

période des petits allongements : Outre le fait que l'auteur cité semble utiliser une terminologie qui lui est particulière, il ne justifie aucunement la réserve apportée à l'endroit de «période élastique», réserve qu'il est d'ailleurs le seul à manifester. 8, record 1, French, - phase%20%C3%A9lastique

Les théories physiques de l'élasticité montrent qu'il y a proportionnalité entre la contrainte appliquée à un métal et la déformation qui en résulte, et cela quel que soit le mode d'application de l'effort (traction, flexion, torsion). Cette relation, ou loi de Hooke, est caractérisée par le module d'élasticité, ou module de Young en traction [...] 1, record 2, French, - loi%20de%20Hooke
