  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. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_curve

    [1]: 58 For example, low-carbon steel generally exhibits a very linear stressstrain relationship up to a well-defined yield point. The linear portion of the curve is the elastic region, and the slope of this region is the modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus. Plastic flow initiates at the upper yield point and continues at the lower ...

  4. Elastic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus

    Young's modulus (E) - apply small, incremental changes in the lattice parameter along a specific axis and compute the corresponding stress response using DFT. Young’s modulus is then calculated as E=σ/ϵ, where σ is the stress and ϵ is the strain. [4] Initial structure: Start with a relaxed structure of the material.

  5. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    The linear relationship for a material is known as Young's modulus. Above the yield point, some degree of permanent distortion remains after unloading and is termed plastic deformation. The determination of the stress and strain throughout a solid object is given by the field of strength of materials and for a structure by structural analysis.

  6. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The modulus of elasticity can be used to determine the stressstrain relationship in the linear-elastic portion of the stressstrain curve. The linear-elastic region is either below the yield point, or if a yield point is not easily identified on the stressstrain plot it is defined to be between 0 and 0.2% strain, and is defined as the ...

  7. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stressstrain_analysis

    Stressstrain analysis (or stress analysis) is an engineering discipline that uses many methods to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures subjected to forces. In continuum mechanics , stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other ...

  8. Elasticity tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_tensor

    This fact follows from the symmetry of the stress and strain tensors, together with the requirement that the stress derives from an elastic energy potential. For isotropic materials, the elasticity tensor has just two independent components, which can be chosen to be the bulk modulus and shear modulus. [3]

  9. Elasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    For instance, Young's modulus applies to extension/compression of a body, whereas the shear modulus applies to its shear. [1] 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 stressstrain curve, which shows the relation between ...
