Hookian Springs

The stress of a spring (Hooke's Law)

• Hookian springs follow Hooke's Law. They are perfectly elastic. This means that:
  
  
  1. They never undergo a permanent deformation; they always return back to their original length when the applied force is removed.
  2. A force elongation graph is a parabola.
  
  
• A Hookian spring is a part of the Maxwell element and the Kelvin element.
