- Elasticity is the property of a material to regain its original shape and size when the deforming force is removed.
- The elastic modulus quantifies a material's ability to resist deformation under stress.
- There are three primary types of elastic moduli: Young’s modulus, bulk modulus, and shear modulus.
- Young’s modulus (Y) measures the elasticity of a material under tensile or compressive stress.
- The formula for Young’s modulus
- Elasticity is the property of a material to return to its original shape and size after the removal of an external force.
- Stress is defined as the internal restoring force per unit area induced in a material when subjected to an external force.
- The formula for stress is: Stress = Force / Area, and its unit is Pascals (Pa).
- Strain is the measure of the deformation of a material, defined as the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension.
