Modulus of Elasticity "Young's Modulus" Testing

"Young's Modulus, aka Modulus of Elasticity is a measurement of the rate of change of strain as a function of stress. It represents the slope of the straight line portion of a stress-strain curve. With respect to tensile testing, it may be referred to as Tensile Modulus. This method of testing is used to determine a sample's behavior under an axial stretching load. Common tensile test results include elastic limit, tensile strength, yield point, yield strength, elongation, and Young's Modulus. Young's Modulus is reported commonly as psi (lbs/in2).
