response (strain) to other kinds of stress: the shear modulus describes the response to shear stress, and Young's modulus describes the response to normal...

applied lengthwise. It is the modulus of elasticity for tension or axial compression. Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of the stress (force per unit...

of global minima The measurement of standard pitch in the teeth of a rotating gear Bulk modulus, a measure of compression resistance Elastic modulus,...

the shape in question. There are two types of section modulus, elastic and plastic: The elastic section modulus is used to calculate a cross-section's resistance...

Dynamic modulus (sometimes complex modulus) is the ratio of stress to strain under vibratory conditions (calculated from data obtained from either free...

affects the volume of the material, as quantified by the bulk modulus and the volumetric strain. The inverse process of compression is called decompression...

In mechanics, the flexural modulus or bending modulus is an intensive property that is computed as the ratio of stress to strain in flexural deformation...

linear elastic regime) the tangent modulus is equivalent to Young's modulus. Above the proportional limit the tangent modulus varies with strain and is most...

seismology. The speed of compression waves in solids is determined by the medium's compressibility, shear modulus, and density. The speed of shear waves is determined...

Specific modulus is a materials property consisting of the elastic modulus per mass density of a material. It is also known as the stiffness to weight...

\sigma =E\varepsilon ,} where, this time, E refers to the Young's modulus for compression. In this region, the material deforms elastically and returns to...

For soft materials, such as rubber, where the bulk modulus is much higher than the shear modulus, Poisson's ratio is near 0.5. For open-cell polymer...

case of unconstrained uniaxial tension or compression, Young's modulus can be thought of as a measure of the stiffness of a structure. The stiffness of a...

Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in...

of sound is adiabatic. For such an adiabatic process, the modulus of elasticity (Young's modulus) can be expressed as E = γP, where γ is the ratio of...

{\displaystyle M} , also known as the longitudinal modulus, or the constrained modulus, is one of the elastic moduli available to describe isotropic homogeneous...

properties. Small amounts of zinc oxide, kaolin, or other fillers are sometimes added to increase opacity, elastic modulus, or compression strength. Polymer clay...

the elastic modulus such that E L = K b + 4 G 3 {\displaystyle E_{L}=K_{b}+{\frac {4G}{3}}} where G {\displaystyle G} is the shear modulus and K B {\displaystyle...

of the spring is thereby subjected to a bending moment, either reducing or increasing the helical radius. In this mode, it is the Young's Modulus of the...

(see tensile testing). These curves reveal many of the properties of a material, such as the Young's modulus, the yield strength and the ultimate tensile...
