Stress/strain curves are often acquired under constant strain-rate conditions. The force required to produce this deformation behavior is measured with the Load Cell and normalized to yield 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 ...

Young's modulus is, therefore, the slope of the stress/strain curve in the initial linear elastic region. When an isotropic elastic material experiences a uniaxial stress, its volume is not conserved ...

With a simple sample geometry, a 3-point-bend test can be used to obtain stress-strain behavior, elastic modulus in bending (flexural modulus), and failure limits in bending.
