  2. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    The plastic section modulus is used to calculate a cross-section's capacity to resist bending after yielding has occurred across the entire section. It is used for determining the plastic, or full moment, strength and is larger than the elastic section modulus, reflecting the section's strength beyond the elastic range. [1] Equations for the ...

  3. Elastic modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_modulus

    The elastic modulus of an object is defined as the slope of its stress–strain curve in the elastic deformation region: [1] A stiffer material will have a higher elastic modulus. An elastic modulus has the form: =

  5. Solid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_mechanics

    If the applied stress is sufficiently low (or the imposed strain is small enough), almost all solid materials behave in such a way that the strain is directly proportional to the stress; the coefficient of the proportion is called the modulus of elasticity. This region of deformation is known as the linearly elastic region.

  6. Flexural modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_modulus

    Flexural modulus measurement For a 3-point test of a rectangular beam behaving as an isotropic linear material, where w and h are the width and height of the beam, I is the second moment of area of the beam's cross-section, L is the distance between the two outer supports, and d is the deflection due to the load F applied at the middle of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact_and_Fancy

    Fact and Fancy is a collection of seventeen scientific essays by American writer and scientist Isaac Asimov. It was the first in a series of books collecting his essays from The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Asimov's second book of science essays altogether (after Only a Trillion). Doubleday & Company first published it in March ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    is the elastic modulus and is the second moment of area of the beam's cross section. I {\displaystyle I} must be calculated with respect to the axis which is perpendicular to the applied loading. [ N 1 ] Explicitly, for a beam whose axis is oriented along x {\displaystyle x} with a loading along z {\displaystyle z} , the beam's cross section is ...

  9. 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. Material properties are most often characterized by a set of numerical parameters called moduli.
