Determine the modulus of elasticity?

A push rod,200mm long with a diameter of 6mm,is compressed by 0.021mm under load of
600N.Determine the Modulus of Elasticity
Firstly, find the area for the rod, the area, A=[(pi)*(diameter)^2]/4
substituting the values, A=[(3.142)(6)^2]/4 = 28.27mm^2
Next, find the stress
Stress= Load/Area
= 600N/28.27mm^2
= 21.22N/mm^2
Then, the strain
Strain = Displacement/Length of the rod
= 0.021mm/200mm
= 0.000105
Modulus of elasticity = Stress/Strain
= 21.22/0.000105
= 202095N/mm^2
= 202.1 kN/mm^2

Young's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of an elastic material and may also be
referred to as the tensile modulus or elastic modulus. There are actually several different
elastic moduli, but the term "elastic modulus" usually refers to Young's modulus unless
otherwise specified. Young's modulus can be calculated from the tensile stress and
tensile strain, and it can also be measured experimenta

Step 1
Define Young's modulus mathematically. This can be given as E = s/t where E is the value
of Young's modulus, s is the tensile stress and t is the tensile strain. The higher the value
of Young's modulus, the stiffer the material.

Step 2
Calculate the tensile stress of a cross section. Tensile stress can be given as s = F/Ao
where s is the tensile strain, F is the force that is applied to the material and Ao is the
original area of the cross section before the force was applied.

Step 3

Express the tensile strain. This gives t = dL/Lo where t is the tensile strain, dL is the
change in the object's length and Lo is the object's length before applying the stress.

Step 4
Derive Young's modulus experimentally. By substituting the values obtained in step 3 into
the equation for Young's modulus, we have: E = s/t = (F/Ao) / (dL/Lo) = (FLo) / (Ao/dL).
Young's modulus is therefore expressed in terms of force per unit area, typically pascals.

Step 5
Use Young's modulus to calculate the force that an object exerts when it is under a given
strain. From step 4, we have: F = E(Ao)(dL)/Lo.
