E is an elastic constant, Young's modulus. A material exhibiting this behavior over the complete range of elastic deformation is known as a linear elastic material. Some materials have a non-linear ...

Push an object's ends together, eg when an empty drinks can is squashed. A rubber band undergoes elastic deformation when stretched a little. A metal drinks can undergoes inelastic deformation ...

Subjecting a material to a hydrostatic stress also causes elastic deformation. The stress is the pressure, p, acting on the body and the strain, d = DV/V. These quantities are related through a ...

A rubber band undergoes elastic deformation when stretched a little. A metal drinks can undergoes plastic deformation when it is squashed.

The deformation of Earth materials is presented in a systematic way covering elastic, anelastic and viscous deformation. Advanced discussions on relevant debates are also included to bring readers a ...

What is Young's Modulus? Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material. It quantifies the relationship between stress ...
