Young's Modulus of wood and glass

In summary, the young's modulus (measuring stiffness) of different materials are: Graphite - 12 N/m2, Wood - 15 N/m2, Steel - 210 N/m2, Glass - 70 N/m2, Titanium - 116 N/m2, and Aluminium - 70 N/m2. These measurements are in x 10^9 units. The conversation centered around asking for the young's modulus of various materials and the provided values were Graphite, Wood (specifically hardwood), Steel, Glass, Titanium, and Aluminium. The conversation ended with a thank you for the information.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the young's modulus of:
Graphite,
Wood,
Steel,
Glass,
Titanium,
and Aluminium...

I know this is a strange thing to ask, but it would really help me understand more fully the way Graphite compares with other materials.
Search engines are sooooooo difficult to find anything specific.

Please help...

graphite - ?
Wood - 15 (this is for hardwood)
Steel - 210
Glass - 70
Titanium -?
Aluminum - 70

These are all N/m2 and are x's 10^9

1. What is Young's Modulus?

Young's Modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity, is a measure of the stiffness of a material. It describes how much a material will deform when a force is applied to it, and is an important factor in determining the strength and durability of a material.

2. How is Young's Modulus calculated?

Young's Modulus is calculated by dividing the stress (force per unit area) by the strain (amount of deformation) of a material. This is typically done in a controlled laboratory setting using specialized equipment.

3. Why is Young's Modulus important for wood and glass?

Young's Modulus is important for wood and glass because it helps us understand their structural properties. For example, a high Young's Modulus indicates a material is stiffer and less likely to bend or break under stress, making it a good choice for building structures.

4. What factors can affect Young's Modulus of wood and glass?

The Young's Modulus of wood and glass can be affected by various factors such as temperature, moisture, and the direction in which the force is applied. For example, wood may have a different Young's Modulus when measured parallel to the grain compared to perpendicular to the grain.

5. How does Young's Modulus of wood and glass compare to other materials?

The Young's Modulus of wood and glass can vary greatly depending on the type of wood or glass being used. Generally, glass has a higher Young's Modulus than wood, making it a stiffer and more brittle material. However, there are many other materials, such as metals and ceramics, that have higher Young's Moduli than both wood and glass.
