Young's modulus of the material

In summary, the conversation involves discussing how to derive equations for different beam shapes and using these equations to compare the radius of curvature for different beams. The equations discussed include C = YI / r for bending moment, I = wt^3 / 12 for moment of inertia, and Koenig's Apparatus formula theta = h / [2(d+2D)] for angle of deflection. The topic was brought up after the individual expressed difficulty with deriving equations.

Hello again,
I don't understand how to derive equations.
#1
C = YI / r

Y = Young's modulus of the material
r = radius of curvature of the neutral surface
I = geometrical moment of inertia of the cross section of the beam
C = bending moment

#2
I = wt^3 / 12

I = moment of inertia
w = width of rectangular beam
t = thickness of rectangular beam

#3
Koenig's Apparatus
theta = h / 2(d+2D)

theta =angle of deflection
d = distance between mirrors on rectangular beam
D = distance between mirror(mirror which is closer to telescope) to scale
h = difference between the reading of scale


Thank you :D
i'm not good wif deriving equations :(

oh, and one more
have a question asking me to arrange three beams in the order of their radius of curvature when Y, C and A are equal, the three beams are Round beam, Square beam, H-shaped beam.
i just need to find equations for moment of inertia for these shapes?

for arranging the order for three beams
for
Round beam, i have I = A^2 / 12
Square beam, i have I = A^2 / 12

with equation C = YI / r
Round beam will have r = YI / C = [Y*(A^2 / 12)] / C
Square beam will have r = YI / C = [Y*(A^2 / 12)] / C

but i don't know how to convert the H-shaped beam
i found out, for H-shaped beam
A = HB + hb
I = (BH^3 + bh^3) / 12

i've derived the other formulae
but I'm still stuck on this one, Koenig's Aparatus formula
here's a picture of it with the formula need to derive into

theta = h / [2(d+2D)]

What is Young's modulus of a material?

Young's modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a measure of the stiffness or rigidity of a material. It is the ratio of stress to strain in a material, and is typically expressed in units of Pascal (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).

How is Young's modulus calculated?

You can calculate Young's modulus by dividing the stress (force per unit area) by the strain (change in length or deformation). This can be done using the formula E = σ/ε, where E is Young's modulus, σ is stress, and ε is strain.

What factors affect Young's modulus?

Young's modulus is affected by various factors, including the type of material, its composition and structure, temperature, and the presence of impurities or defects. For example, materials with strong intermolecular forces tend to have a higher Young's modulus.

Why is Young's modulus important?

Young's modulus is an important property of materials because it helps determine their strength, stiffness, and ability to resist deformation. It is also a key factor in designing structures and predicting how they will behave under different loads or conditions.

How does Young's modulus differ from other types of modulus?

Young's modulus is just one type of modulus used to measure the mechanical properties of materials. Other types include shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson's ratio. Each of these moduli describes a different aspect of a material's response to stress and strain.
