In solid mechanics, Young's modulus (E) is a measure of the stiffness of a material. It is also known as the Young modulus, modulus of elasticity, elastic modulus (though the Young's modulus is actually one of several elastic moduli such as the bulk modulus and the shear modulus) or tensile modulus. It is defined as the ratio of stress over strain in the region in which Hooke's Law is obeyed for the material.^[1] This can be experimentally determined from the slope of a stress-strain curve created during tensile tests conducted on a sample of the material.

Young's modulus is named after Thomas Young, the 18th century British scientist. However, the concept was developed in 1727 by Leonhard Euler, and the first experiments that used the concept of Young's modulus in its current form were performed by the Italian scientist Giordano Riccati in 1782 — predating Young's work by 25 years.^[2]

Units

Young's modulus is the ratio of stress, which has units of pressure, to strain, which is dimensionless; therefore Young's modulus itself has units of pressure. A purist might argue that the units are fine if the dimensionless ratio is left in (i.e. lbs/in^2 over in/in). Carrying the full expression can be helpful for canceling units, in dimensional analysis.

The SI unit of modulus of elasticity (E, or less commonly Y) is the pascal; the practical units are megapascals (MPa) or gigapascals (GPa or kN/mm²). In United States customary units, it is expressed as pounds (force) per square inch (psi).

Usage

The Young's modulus allows the behavior of a material under load to be calculated. For instance, it can be used to predict the amount a wire will extend under tension or buckle under compression. Some calculations also require the use of other material properties, such as the shear modulus, density, or Poisson's ratio.

Linear versus non-linear

For many materials, Young's modulus is essentially constant over a range of strains. Such materials are called linear, and are said to obey Hooke's law. Examples of linear materials include steel, carbon fiber, and glass. Rubber and soils (except at very small strains) are non-linear materials.

Directional materials

Young's modulus is not always the same in all orientations of a material. Most metals and ceramics, along with many other materials, are isotropic: Their mechanical properties are the same in all orientations. However, metals and ceramics can be treated with certain impurities, and metals can be mechanically 'worked,' to make their grain structures directional. These materials then become anisotropic, and Young's modulus will change depending on which direction the force is applied from. Anisotropy can be seen in many composites as well. For example, carbon fiber has a much higher Young's modulus (is much stiffer) when force is loaded parallel to the fibers (along the grain), and is an example of a material with transverse isotropy. Other such materials include wood and reinforced concrete. Engineers can use this directional phenomenon to their advantage in creating various structures in our environment.

Calculation

Young's modulus, E, can be calculated by dividing the tensile stress by the tensile strain:

$E \equiv \frac{\mbox {tensile stress}}{\mbox {tensile strain}} = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon}= \frac{F/A_0}{\Delta L/L_0} = \frac{F L_0} {A_0 \Delta L}$

where

E is the Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity)

F is the force applied to the object;

A₀ is the original cross-sectional area through which the force is applied;

?L is the amount by which the length of the object changes;

L₀ is the original length of the object.

Force exerted by stretched or compressed material

The Young's modulus of a material can be used to calculate the force it exerts under a specific strain.

$F = \frac{E A_0 \Delta L} {L_0}$

where F is the force exerted by the material when compressed or stretched by ?L.

From this formula can be derived Hooke's law, which describes the stiffness of an ideal spring:

$F = \left( \frac{E A_0} {L_0} \right) \Delta L = k x \,$

where

$k = \begin{matrix} \frac {E A_0} {L_0} \end{matrix} \,$

$x = \Delta L. \,$

Elastic potential energy

The elastic potential energy stored is given by the integral of this expression with respect to L:

$U_e = \int {\frac{E A_0 \Delta L} {L_0}}\, dL = \frac {E A_0} {L_0} \int { \Delta L }\, dL = \frac {E A_0 {\Delta L}^2} {2 L_0}$

where U_e is the elastic potential energy.

The elastic potential energy per unit volume is given by:

$\frac{U_e} {A_0 L_0} = \frac {E {\Delta L}^2} {2 L_0^2} = \frac {1} {2} E {\varepsilon}^2$ , where $\varepsilon = \frac {\Delta L} {L_0}$ is the strain in the material.

This formula can also be expressed as the integral of Hooke's law:

$U_e = \int {k x}\, dx = \frac {1} {2} k x^2.$

Relation among elastic constants

For homogeneous isotropic materials simple relations exist between elastic constants (Young's modulus E, shear modulus G, bulk modulus K, and Poisson's ratio ?) that allow calculating them all as long as two are known:

$E = 2G(1+\nu) = 3K(1-2\nu).\,$

Approximate values

Young's modulus can vary somewhat due to differences in sample composition and test method. The values here are approximate.
