These are nonlinear elastic materials for which the slope of the stress-strain curve, (ds/de) e, is the strain dependent elastic modulus, the Tangent modulus. Elastic deformation continues until the ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed ...

in a material in the linear elastic region of a stress-strain curve. A high Young's modulus indicates a stiff material that resists deformation, while a low modulus characterizes a soft material that ...

The diagrams opposite show stress-strain curves for a linear elastic material such as a metal (top) and a non-linear elastic material such as rubber (bottom). If these materials are taken to some ...
