elastic stiffness modulus
1Stiffness — is the resistance of an elastic body to deformation by an applied force. It is an extensive material property.DefinitionThe stiffness, k , of a body is a measure of the resistance offered by an elastic body to deformation (bending, stretching or… …
2Modulus — may refer to: Modulus (gastropod) a genus of small sea snails Modulus (algebraic number theory), a formal product of places of a number field The absolute value of a real or complex number ( | a | ) Modular arithmetic, the modulus being the value …
3Elastic modulus — An elastic modulus, or modulus of elasticity, is the mathematical description of an object or substance s tendency to be deformed elastically (i.e., non permanently) when a force is applied to it. The elastic modulus of an object is defined as… …
4modulus of elasticity — the ratio of stress to strain when deformation is totally elastic; also a measure of the stiffness of a material. Modulus of elasticity can be interpreted as the slope of the stress strain graph. It is usually denoted as E, sometimes known as… …
5Young's modulus — In solid mechanics, Young s modulus (E) is a measure of the stiffness of an isotropic elastic material. It is also known as the Young modulus, modulus of elasticity, elastic modulus (though Young s modulus is actually one of several elastic… …
6Shear modulus — SI symbol: G SI unit: gigapascal Derivations from other quantities: G = τ / γ …
7Bending stiffness — The bending stiffness E I of a beam (or a plate) relates the applied bending moment to the resulting deflection of the beam. It is the product of the elastic modulus E of the beam material and the area moment of inertia I of the beam cross… …
8Orthotropic material — Wood is an example of an orthotropic material. Material properties in three perpendicular directions (axial, radial, and circumferential) are different. An orthotropic material has two or three mutually orthogonal twofold axes of rotational… …
9Hardness — This article is about mechanical properties of materials. For other uses, see Hard. Hardness is the measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied. Macroscopic hardness is generally… …
10Hooke's law — models the properties of springs for small changes in length Prof. Walter Lewin explains Hooke s law, in …
