Elastic modulus: describes the elastic behavior (deformations) of objects<br />

as they respond to forces that act on them.<br />

Stress = <strong>Elasticity</strong> Modulus x Strain<br />

(1) Stress = cte x Strain Recovers original<br />

dimensions when stress removed.<br />

(2) Stress > yield strength S y specimen<br />

becomes permanently deformed.<br />

(3) Stress > ultimate strength S u specimen<br />

breaks.<br />

Tension <strong>and</strong> compression:<br />

Stress =<br />

F<br />

A<br />

( F= force applied perpendicular to the area A of the object)
