Elastic Modulus in Strength of Materials Formulas

The Elastic Modulus is a fundamental property that quantifies the stiffness of a material. It is defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic range of a material. And is denoted by e. Elastic Modulus is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Elastic Modulus is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Elastic Modulus?

The Elastic Modulus is a fundamental property that quantifies the stiffness of a material. It is defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic range of a material. Elastic Modulus is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Elastic Modulus is always positive.

Can the Elastic Modulus be negative?

No, the Elastic Modulus, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Elastic Modulus?

Elastic Modulus is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Elastic Modulus can be measured.
