6.7.4 Elastic Modulus Measurement<br />

Application:<br />

Measurement on Young's Modulus and Shear Modulus of Elasticity, and<br />

Poisson's ratio, in non-dispersive isotropic engineering materials.<br />

Background:<br />

1. Young's Modulus of Elasticity is defined as the ratio of stress (<strong>for</strong>ce per<br />

unit area) to corresponding strain (de<strong>for</strong>mation) in a material under tension<br />

or compression.<br />

2. Shear Modulus of Elasticity is similar to the ratio of stress to strain in a<br />

material subjected to shear stress.<br />

3. Poisson's Ratio is the ratio of transverse strain to corresponding axial<br />

strain on a material stressed along one axis.<br />
