Hi everyone,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, I'm still relatively new to the forum.
I'm an engineer studying Young's modulus in building materials. I have a passing interest in physics, but let's say my knowledge of the subject is far from exhaustive!
I'm interested in finding out the physics behind Young's modulus, and what causes/changes it. The books I've found so far detail how to measure it, and what it is as a physical property (i.e. stress over strain), but not the intrinsic meaning of it or where it comes from.
If anyone could offer any physics wisdom on this, or even point me in the direction of texts/papers discussing it, you'd really be helping me out; I've hit a bit of a dead end at the moment.
Cheers,
