Strong, light, and not too bendy
Learning Outcomes
- Explain how elastic stress and strain are related through Hooke’s law
- Predict, given Young’s modulus, the strain resulting from a given applied elastic stress, or vice versa
- Differentiate between strength, stiffness, and Young’s modulus
- Calculate engineering stress and engineering strain
- Illustrate how Young’s modulus is a structure independant property
