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?
July 3, 2023 at 8:01 pm #3294Stress is defined as force per unit area. It indicates the amount of internal force acting within a deformable body.
July 3, 2023 at 8:01 pm #3295Strain 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.
July 3, 2023 at 8:02 pm #3296Young’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.
July 3, 2023 at 8:03 pm #3297Hope this basic explanation helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
July 3, 2023 at 8:04 pm #3298Dude these are some basic concepts. If you don’t understand the fundamentals how will you ever pass your mechanical exams?
July 3, 2023 at 8:05 pm #3299Mechanical 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.
