YOUNG MODULUS

YOUNG MODULUS 

Definition : 

• The ratio of stress to corresponding strain is called modulus of elasticity.

                                        or

• Ratio of tensile stress to corresponding tensile strain.

                                        or

• Ratio of compressive stress to corresponding compressive strain.

 

• It is denoted by E.

• Unit of young modulus or modulus of elasticity: Mega pascal
