What is Young Modulus?

in solid mechanics, Young's modulus (also known as the modulus of elasticity or elastic modulus) is a measure of the stiffness of a given material. It is defined as the limit for small strains of the rate of change of stress with strain. This can be experimentally determined from the slope of a stress-strain curve created during tensile tests conducted on a sample of the material. Young's modulus is named after Thomas Young the English physicist, physician, and Egyptologist The Young's modulus allows the behavior of a material under load to be calculated. For instance, it can be used to predict the amount a wire will extend under tension, or to predict the load at which a thin column will buckle under compression. Some calculations also require the use of other material properties, such as the shear modulus, density, or Poisson's ratio. Young's modulus - Linear vs non-linear. For many materials, Young's modulus is a constant over a range of strains. Such materials are called ..

Calculation
The modulus of elasticity, , can be calculated by dividing the stress by the strain, i.e. where (in SI units) is the modulus of elasticity, measured in pascals F is the force, measured in newtons A is the cross-sectional area through which the force is applied, measured in square metres x is the extension, measured in metres l is the natural length, measured in metres < ... Just as what have been stated in the Hookes Law where the distorting force F is directly proportional to the deformation Y stress is directly proportional to strain thus the equation stress K (constant)= -------strain

The constant K is called Youngs Modulus This gives the formula. stress Y=------strain F/A so Y=-----L/L

A stretched rubber band does not return immediately to its original shape and size when the deforming force is remove. This condition is called ELASTIG LAG or HYSTERESIS (LAGGING BEHIND) . In this case the stress ad the strain do not vary proportionaly Hence, Young Modulus for rubber is not constant.

Sample problem:
A steel rod 5 m long with a cross sectional area of 0.5 cm squared supports a load of 2.42 x102 N, How much the rod stretched ?

Given;
Y steel= 20x1010 N/m2
Where; F= 2.42 x102 N A= 0.5 cm squared L= 5m

1m2

A=0.5cm2x------=5x10-3m2 102 cm2

Find; L

Solution
F/A Y=-----L/L F.L L =-----Y.A

(2.42 x102 )(5) L =--------------------=1.21x10-6m (20x1010 )(5x10-3)
