🎬visualize elasticity and Hooke's Law for an isotropic material

A material's inherent properties—specifically its stiffness and its tendency to change shape—are the direct determinants of how it will deform under an applied force. The demo showcases the cause-and-effect relationship between stress (the applied force) and strain (the resulting deformation). By applying stress using the sliders, you see the grid deform. The Young's Modulus slider represents the material's stiffness. When you increase E, the material becomes more rigid. As a result, for the same amount of applied stress, the grid deforms less. The Poisson's Ratio slider demonstrates the tendency of a material to contract perpendicularly when stretched. When you apply stress in one direction, a positive Poisson's ratio will cause the grid to get thinner in the other direction.
