Hooke's law
Hooke's law (hʊks) n (General Physics) the principle that the stress imposed on a solid is directly proportional to the strain produced, within the elastic limit[C18: named after Robert Hooke ]Hooke's law A law in physics stating that the extent to which an elastic material will change size and shape under stress is directly proportional to the amount of stress applied to it. If a spring is stretched to a length of 6 inches (15.2 centimeters) by a force of 1 newton, for example, it will be stretched to a length of 12 inches (30.4 centimeters) by a force of 2 newtons.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | Hooke's law - (physics) the principle that (within the elastic limit) the stress applied to a solid is proportional to the strain producedlaw of nature, law - a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature; "the laws of thermodynamics"natural philosophy, physics - the science of matter and energy and their interactions; "his favorite subject was physics" |
Hooke's law
Hooke's law: see elasticityelasticity,
the ability of a body to resist a distorting influence or stress and to return to its original size and shape when the stress is removed. All solids are elastic for small enough deformations or strains, but if the stress exceeds a certain amount known as the elastic

Hooke in 1660 for the simplest case of the elongation or compression of a rod in the following form: the absolute elongation (compression) Δ/ of a cylindrical rod is directly proportional to the tensile stress N, that is, Δ/ = kN, where k = l/ES (l is the length of the rod, S is the area of its cross section, and E is the modulus of longitudinal elasticity, which is a mechanical characteristic [constant] of a material). Hooke’s law can also be conveniently represented in the form σ ‗ E∈, where σ‗ N/S is the normal stress acting in a cross section and ∈‗ Δl/l is the relative elongation (compression) of the rod. With shearing stress, Hooke’s law is written as τ = G/γ, where τ is the tangential stress, γ is the shear, and G is the so-called shear modulus. In the presence of shear, the tangential stress is directly proportional to the shear. The generalized Hooke’s law—for a body of any arbitrary shape—states that six quantities determining the stress at a point are expressed linearly by six quantities determining the strain in the neighborhood of the point under consideration. In these equations the coefficients of proportionality are called elastic moduli. In anisotropic bodies, for example, crystals, the elastic moduli are different in different directions, so that in the general case the elastic properties of a solid are characterized by means of 21 elastic moduli. For isotropic bodies, the number of independent elastic constants reduces to two. Hooke’s law is not valid when certain stresses (or deformations) attain limiting values characteristic for each material and the body passes into an elastic-plastic state. Hooke’s law is a basic relationship applicable in calculating the strength and deformability of structures and buildings. REFERENCEIl’iushin, A. A., and V. S. Lenskii. Soprotivlenie materialov.

law (lo) 1. A scientific statement that is found to apply to a class of natural occurrences.2. A body of rules, regulations, and legal opinions of conduct and action that are made by controlling authority and are legally binding.administrative lawBody of law in the form of decisions, rules, regulations, and orders created by administrative agencies under the direction of the executive branch of the government used to carry out the duties of such agencies. Regulations of nursing practice, for example, are considered administrative laws. all-or-none lawThe weakest stimulus capable of producing a response produces the maximum contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, and the maximal impulse transmission rate in neurons.apology lawA colloquial term for any legal statute that encourages health care providers to acknowledge and disclose medical errors openly. Although apology laws vary from one jurisdiction to another, most include some measure of legal protection for the individual or agency making the apology.

Common law constantly evolves from previous decisions and changing custom. It forms the basis of the legal system in the U.S. (except Louisiana), the U.K. and most other English-speaking countries and is therefore the most frequent source of legal precedent for malpractice cases. cosine law1. A physical law that describes the relationship between the sides and angles of any triangle.2. When applied to physical treatment of the body, it describes the effectiveness of radiant energy and the angle at which it strikes tissue. The maximum amount of energy transfer occurs when the energy strikes tissue at a 90° angle. As the angle changes, the effectiveness of the energy is reduced by the multiple of the cosine of the angle: Effective energy = applied energy × cosine of the angle. law of contiguity1. A law stating that if two ideas occur together, then the recollection of one will likely stimulate recall of the other.2. A law stating that if combined stimuli precede contraction of a muscle, then, when those stimuli are repeated, the muscle will contract again.Courvoisier's law See: Courvoisier's lawcriminal lawThe area of the law relating to violations of statutes that pertain to public offenses or acts committed against the public.

However, this law is dramatically affected by the image receptor response curve, esp. when it is not a 45° linear curve. In radiographic intensifying film and screen technologies, the reciprocity law does not hold at long exposure times because of the reversal of the D log E response curve. right-to-know lawA law that dictates that employers must inform their employees of the health effects and chemical hazards of the toxic substances used in each workplace. The employer must provide information concerning the generic and chemical names of the substances used; the level at which the exposure is hazardous; the effects of exposure at hazardous levels; the symptoms of such effects; the potential for flammability, explosion, and reactivity of the substances; the appropriate emergency treatment; proper conditions for safe use and exposure to the substances; and procedures for cleanup of leaks and spills. The law provides that an employee may refuse to work with a toxic substance until he or she has received information concerning its potential for hazard.
