Your details

Choose which quantity to solve for. The other two fields become your inputs.
Modulus of elasticity in the selected unit.
Enable this to enter applied force, cross-sectional area, original length, and change in length instead of stress/strain directly.

Young's Modulus: 200.000 GPa

  • This modulus (200.000 GPa) puts the material in the high-stiffness metal (steel/tungsten range).
  • The closest common material is Structural steel at approximately 200 GPa.
  • The applied stress is 200.00 MPa (29008 psi).
  • The resulting strain is 0.001000, equivalent to 0.1000% elongation per unit length.
  • Young's modulus only applies in the elastic (linear) region: stresses above the yield point cause permanent deformation and this formula no longer holds.

Next stepTo determine whether your stress is within the elastic limit, compare it to the material's yield strength. If stress exceeds yield strength, use a plastic deformation model instead.
