  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. 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 ...

  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. Linear elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_elasticity

    Linear elasticity is a mathematical model of how solid objects deform and become internally stressed by prescribed loading conditions. It is a simplification of the more general nonlinear theory of elasticity and a branch of continuum mechanics. The fundamental "linearizing" assumptions of linear elasticity are: infinitesimal strains or "small ...

  8. 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.

  9. Elasticity tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_tensor

    Elasticity tensor. The elasticity tensor is a fourth-rank tensor describing the stress-strain relation in a linear elastic material. [1][2] Other names are elastic modulus tensor and stiffness tensor. Common symbols include and . The defining equation can be written as. where and are the components of the Cauchy stress tensor and infinitesimal ...
