Young's Modulus
Last edited: August 8, 2025Young’s Modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material.
It measures the ratio between mechanical stress \(\sigma\) and the relative resulting strain \(\epsilon\).
And so, very simply:
\begin{equation} E = \frac{\sigma }{\epsilon } \end{equation}
Thinking about this, silly puddy deforms very easily given a little stress, so it would have low Young’s Modulus (\(\sigma \ll \epsilon\)); and visa versa. https://aapt.scitation.org/doi/10.1119/1.17116?cookieSet=1
