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 ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...
