Young's Modulus of wood and glass

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the Young's modulus values of various materials, specifically graphite, wood, steel, glass, titanium, and aluminum. Participants seek to compare these values to better understand the mechanical properties of graphite in relation to other materials.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests Young's modulus values for graphite, wood, steel, glass, titanium, and aluminum to aid in understanding material comparisons.
  • Another participant provides specific values for wood (15 for hardwood), steel (210), glass (70), and aluminum (70), while leaving graphite and titanium unspecified.
  • A subsequent post suggests a value of 12 for graphite and 116 for titanium.
  • Participants express gratitude for the information shared, indicating that the responses were helpful.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the exact values for graphite and titanium, as different participants provide varying figures. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the precise Young's modulus for these materials.

Contextual Notes

The values provided may depend on specific types of materials (e.g., hardwood for wood) and may not account for variations in conditions or definitions of the materials discussed.

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

Thanks

Thanks a lot, that's a great help!
 
Graphite = 12
Titanium = 116
