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.

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 ...
