When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

City University of Hong Kong researchers have accidentally discovered a first-of-its-kind alloy that retains its stiffness instead of softening as the temperature rises. Indeed, high-entropy Elinvar ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

A method for ultrasonic measurement of friction material elastic constants was evaluated through a round-robin process. The purpose of the study was two-fold: 1) to formulate and evaluate a standard ...

While most metals feature some degree of elasticity, some respond better than others to being bent out of shape. Scientists experimenting with the makeup of these materials have developed a novel, ...

This webinar investigates the advantages and usage of AFM on studying the mechanics of soft materials from Bruker. AFM methods to obtain absolute values of elastic modulus are described. This is ...

In 1807, Thomas Young discovered that stress in a material (F/A) is linearly proportional to the strain (change in length/original length) in that material. This, in turn, led to the discovery of a ...

In the world of materials, rigidity and elasticity are usually on opposite ends of the continuum. Typically, the more elastic a material, the less able it is to bear loads and resist forces. The more ...
