Young's Modulus

Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a measure of the stiffness of a solid material. It is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid materials. It defines the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material.

Young's modulus of a material equals the product of the original length and the load divided by the cross-sectional area and the deformation.

Formula

QuantityVariable["E", "YoungsModulus"] == (QuantityVariable["L", "Length"]*QuantityVariable["P", "Force"])/(QuantityVariable["A", "Area"]*QuantityVariable["δ", "Length"])
