Toute action extérieure de faible intensité qui s'exerce sur un matériau élastique le déforme et provoque par là même une réaction du matériau égale et opposée à l'action appliquée. En tout point intérieur apparaissent alors des déformations et des contraintes locales, dont on peut affirmer, en vertu de la loi de Hooke, qu'il existe entre elles des relations de proportionnalité. Cela permet de définir des modules d'élasticité, rapports entre contraintes et déformations, caractéristiques du matériau envisagé. 4, record 1, French, - module%20d%27%C3%A9lasticit%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La notion de coefficient ou module d'élasticité [...] est très importante au point de vue pratique. En effet, connaissant le module d'élasticité d'un métal on peut connaître la contrainte à laquelle il est soumis par simple mesure de sa déformation à l'aide d'un appareil précis (par exemple un tensiomètre) [...] 3, record 1, French, - module%20d%27%C3%A9lasticit%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Modules d'élasticité [...] K est le module de compression [...] E est le module d'élasticité longitudinale, ou module d'Young [...] G est le module de glissement ou module de rigidité. 4, record 1, French, - module%20d%27%C3%A9lasticit%C3%A9
