The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing, Vol. 5, No. 2 (June 2012), pp. 517-527 (11 pages) ABSTRACT Three established mechanical test specimen geometries and test methods used to ...

Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...

Before undertaking tests on a specimen of unknown properties, it is essential to check that reliable and accurate readings are obtained on a sample of known properties using the indenter and the load ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...
