Rheology:
“science of deformation and flow
of matter”
or
relationship between stress and
strain
3
Idealized Elastic Material Linear relationship
between force and
extension (Hooke,
1676):
• Ut tensio sic uis
• As extension so the
force
• Analogous to spring
constant

Stiffness and strength “Lest there be any possible, probably, shadow of
doubt, strength is not, repeat not, the same thing as stiffness. Stiffness, or Young’s modulus or E, is concerned with how stiff, flexible, springy or floppy a material is. Strength is the force or stress needed to break a thing. A biscuit is stiff but weak, steel is stiff and strong, nylon is flexible (low E and strong), raspberry jelly is flexible (low E) and weak. The two properties together describe a solid about as well as you can reasonably expect two figures to do.”
(Gordon, New science of strong materials, 2006)

Rocks can flow: salt ascends
through overlying sediments
because it is bouyant
