Modulus Of Elasticity


Let us learn about "Modulus Of Elasticity"

Modulus of elasticity, also known as elastic modulus or Young’s Modulus, is a measure of how a material or structure will deform and strain when placed under stress. Materials deform differently when loads and stresses are applied, and the relationship between stress and strain typically varies. The ability of matter to resist or transmit stress is important, and this property is often used to determine if a particular material is suitable for a specific purpose.

Corresponding to the three types of strain, there are three moduli of elasticity.

(i) Young's modulus, corresponding to longitudinal strain,

(ii) Bulk modulus, corresponding to volume strain and

(iii) Rigidity modulus, corresponding to shearing strain.

E=a constant of proportionality known as modulus of elasticity or young's modulus. numerically, it is that value of tensile stress, which when applied to a uniform bar will increase its length to double the original length if the material of the bar could remain perfectly elastic throughout such an excessive strain.


In our next blog we shall learn about "ideal gas constant"


I hope the above explanation was useful. Keep reading and leave your comments.

  1. The modulus of elasticity also known as the elastic modulus, the tensile modulus, or Young's modulus is a number that measures an object or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically or non permanent when a force is applied to it. I hope this will be very helpful to the students to complete their educational works related with the topics. And also today most of them are depends on the online thesis writing service.

  2. I think this is very short description about the Modulus Of Elasticity and this is the easy way to learn but if you have to write a dissertation or thesis then you have to avail dissertation writing services but these types of description can help you in writing abstract chapter or overview of the chapter thanks for your best sharing.
