Young’s modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a crucial material property that defines the stiffness of a material under stress. It quantifies the ability of a material to resist ...

Sperm are such great swimmers because of a slender flagellum that ripples like a living whip, trading brute force for ...

Elastic deformation continues until the yield stress of the material if it is ductile, after which the material plastically deforms. A brittle material fractures before any plastic deformation occurs ...

How the elastic modulus fits into the kinetic modulus. Download this article in .PDF format This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable.

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 ...

Indeed, its elastic modulus appears to rise as temperatures get hotter. Where other metals start to soften, C o25 N i25 (HfTiZr) 50, or “the high-entropy Elinvar alloy" gets stiffer.

It is difficult to take accurate measurements of the elastic modulus when it comes to thin films, because of what is called the substrate effect. In general, the depth of indentation is limited to 10% ...

Modulus enhancement was achieved by exploiting load sharing during elastic deformation through a robust strain-sharing interface between the RCO phase and the Al matrix. This method provides control ...
