modulus of elasticity testing

That is, for materials such as rubber, plastic, or metal, when we pull or push on them, we want to know how they respond. Suppose you have a rubber band in your hand. You can pull on it and it stretches. But if you tug too much, it might break or deform. This matters because we have to understand how much force we can apply to various substances before they fail.

And by measuring stress as well as strain, we can determine how stretchy (or elastic) a material is. For instance, if you apply a slight force on a material, which then deforms greatly, that material is very elastic. Much less if it hardly deforms at all, it is not very elastic.

Measuring the strength of materials with modulus of elasticity testing

Now let’s consider strength. We also want to know the strength of a material by conducting modulus of elasticity test. The first thing we need to know, and which is used to determine the Young's Modulus, is the amount of stress we apply to the material in order to obtain a sample. Then we see how much it changes shape. This deformation is known as strain.

For example, we can press a metal piece so that it bends a little bit, and measure the bend. We call a material very strong if it can withstand a great deal of stress without changing its shape significantly. The above is very helpful since it provides us an idea which type of materials are best for which purpose.
