Hooke's law (hks)
n.
The principle that the stress applied to stretch or compress a body is proportional to the strain or to the change in length thus produced, so long as the limit of elasticity of the body is not exceeded.

The results are only fully reliable when the deformation occurs within a strain range where linearity is found in the stress-strain relationship of the material of choice.
[16] follows the phenomenological unified approach to predict the stress-strain relationship for semicrystalline and glassy polymers for a large spectrum of deformations; before yield, during viscoplastic phase after yield and strain hardening.
Topics include the stress-strain relationship of confined concrete with GFRP jackets, the seismic performance of confined concrete bridge columns, an energy-based CDM model for nonlinear analysis, and RC columns strengthened with CFRP sheets under eccentric compression.
