Elastic Modulus (Young's Modulus) Calculator

The Elastic Modulus, also known as Young's Modulus, is a measure of a material's flexibility. It refers to the material's ability to return to its original shape after being subjected to stress. The formula to calculate the Elastic Modulus is defined as:

Elastic Modulus (Y) = Stress (σ) / Strain (ε)

For example, if we have a metallic material with a stress of 1000 Pascals (Pa) and a strain of 0.05, we can calculate the Elastic Modulus as follows:

Y = 1000 Pa / 0.05 = 20,000 Pa (or 20 Gigapascals, GPa)

This means that the Elastic Modulus of this material is 20,000 Pa or 20 GPa. It indicates how flexible the material is and its ability to withstand varying stresses without breaking.
