Chapter 16, Problem 16.35P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Modulus of elasticity is to be calculated and plotted on a graph against strain for the given stress strain curve. Also, the result is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The measure of an object's resistance to being elastically deformed when stress is applied on it is known as modulus of elasticity. The formula to calculate this quantity is:

  $E=\frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}}$ .... (1)

Stress is the internal force which is exerted by the neighboring particles of a continuous material on each other.

Strain is the measure of the deformation in an object representing the displacement between its particle relative to a reference length.
