Chapter 6, Problem 6.5P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The terms 'modulus elasticity' should be defined.

Concept introduction:

Modulus of elasticity is a simple rational value of stress and strain of any given substance or material. When stress in the form of applied load or force exerted on the cross-sectional area of a given specimen, the initial length of the material is changed represented as strains. With the use of such a term, the mechanical feature of elasticity can be predicted in means of how to study material will deform under a specific force.
