General Aim of young's modulus simulation

Determine Young's modulus for a metallic beam in young's modulus simulation.

Method of young's modulus simulation

Bending of beam

Learning Objectives (ILOs)

  • By the end of young's modulus simulation, student will:

  • Understand the relation between stress and strain in the strain gauge virtual lab.
  • Predict the behavior of material undergoing elastic deformation through Young's modulus simulation.
  • Determine the value of Young’s modulus of elasticity in the young's modulus virtual lab.

Theoretical Background / Context

  • Young's modulus, also known as modulus of elasticity, is a measure of the stiffness of a solid material (young's modulus physics).
  • It is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid materials. 
  • It defines the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional deformation) in a material.

Principle of Work

  • A metal beam which is supported near its ends, is subjected to a load at its center will suffer a depression that can be used using a gauge in the bending of beam experiment.
  • Relating the measured depression to the applied load, will enable us to determine Young’s modulus of the beam’s material through the measurement of Young's modulus using the Young's modulus experiment.
