  2. Young's modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_modulus

    Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of the stress (force per unit area) applied to the object and the resulting axial strain (displacement or deformation) in the linear elastic region of the material. Although Young's modulus is named after the 19th-century British scientist Thomas Young, the concept was developed in 1727 by Leonhard Euler.

  3. Elastic properties of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_properties_of_the...

    Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress. They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength .

  4. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    The first stage is the linear elastic region. The stress is proportional to the strain, that is, obeys the general Hooke's law, and the slope is Young's modulus. In this region, the material undergoes only elastic deformation. The end of the stage is the initiation point of plastic deformation.

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Volume, modulus of elasticity, distribution of forces, and yield strength affect the impact strength of a material. In order for a material or object to have a high impact strength, the stresses must be distributed evenly throughout the object. It also must have a large volume with a low modulus of elasticity and a high material yield strength. [7]

  6. Thermal stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_stress

    Once this material is attached to a rigid body at multiple locations, thermal stresses can be created in the geometrically constrained region. This stress is calculated by multiplying the change in temperature, material's thermal expansion coefficient and material's Young's modulus (see formula below).

  7. Elasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(physics)

    Young's modulus and shear modulus are only for solids, whereas the bulk modulus is for solids, liquids, and gases. The elasticity of materials is described by a stress–strain curve , which shows the relation between stress (the average restorative internal force per unit area) and strain (the relative deformation).

  8. Tensile structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_structure

    Spiral strand is slightly weaker than locked coil strand. Steel spiral strand cables have a Young's modulus, E of 150±10 kN/mm 2 (or 150±10 GPa) and come in sizes from 3 to 90 mm diameter. [citation needed] Spiral strand suffers from construction stretch, where the strands compact when the cable is loaded. This is normally removed by pre ...
