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.
“With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we found ourselves in a situation that forced us to act quickly to find the best solution available to provide our students with a quality molecular genetics laboratory experience.”
'' Although there are now several vendors offering virtual reality software for physics labs, there is only one that offers a realistic, I feel like I’m in a real lab, solution: PraxiLabs.''
" PraxiLabs offered my students a chance to actively engage with the material. Instead of watching videos on a topic, they could virtually complete labs and realize the practical applications of class topics. This is a quality alternative to in-person labs."
"Great user experience and impressive interaction, I am very pleased to have tried the simulations and will continue to do so."
