I am a mechanical engineering student and am having trouble understanding mechanical properties of materials like stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Can someone please explain in simple terms?

Stress is defined as force per unit area. It indicates the amount of internal force acting within a deformable body.

Strain is the amount of deformation that occurs in a material under an applied force. It is a measure of the extension or compression of a material.

Young’s modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic limit of a material. It indicates how stiff a material is. The higher the modulus, the stiffer the material.

Dude these are some basic concepts. If you don’t understand the fundamentals how will you ever pass your mechanical exams?

Mechanical properties of materials can be pretty confusing at first. Take your time understanding the concepts and definitions thoroughly. Don’t worry if it takes you awhile to grasp it fully.
