Young's Modulus

The modulus of elasticity is the slope of the initial, linear-elastic part of the stress-strain diagram.

where E = Young's modulus [Nm-2] F = applied load [N] A = cross-sectional area [m2] x = extension [m] L = original length [m]

Enter values into 4 of the 5 fields. The others will be calculated.

For isotropic materials it is related to the bulk modulus K and to the shear modulus G by

where

ν = Poisson's ratio

K = bulk modulus [Nm^-2]

G = shear modulus [Nm^-2]

Commonly ν = 1/3, and hence E = K, and E = (8/3)G.
