Young's modulus is a numerical constant applied to describe the elastic properties of a metal rod and similar solid material subjected to tensile or compressive forces. It measures a sample's ability to withstand changes in length and is also known as the modulus of elasticity. This test is accurate only when stress (force) is proportional to strain (displacement) and the material can return to its original state. Test machines used together with the developed software packages have made the calculation of Young's modulus a simple, repeatable and accurate test procedure.
A few international standards referenced in Young's modulus tests for elastic materials are:
This test method, also known as tensile testing, is the most basic mechanical test method applied on a material. The Young's modulus test is used to determine the behavior of a sample under axial tensile load. Common tensile test results include elastic limit, tensile strength, yield point, yield strength, elongation, and Young's modulus.
A hard material such as diamond has a high Young's modulus and changes its shape very little under an elastic load. A flexible material such as rubber, on the other hand, has a low Young's modulus and changes its shape significantly. A hard material requires high loads to deform it elastically. The stiffness of a component refers to how much it bends under a given load. This depends not only on the Young's modulus of the material, but also on how it is loaded and on the shape and size of the component.
Our organization also provides Young's modulus testing services for elastic materials, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
