The discussion clarifies that Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to strain, specifically expressed as Young's modulus = stress/strain. It establishes that the original length of a material does not influence the value of Young's modulus because the ratio of change in length to the original length remains constant regardless of the initial length. Therefore, Young's modulus is an intrinsic property of the material, independent of its dimensions.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals in engineering, material science, and physics who seek to understand the mechanical properties of materials and their applications in design and analysis.
With a different original length, there will also be a different change in length, so the ratio of the change in length to the original length stays the same.Ysondh said:If young modulus = stress/strain
Wouldn't a different original length affect the value of young modulus ?
