Young's Modulus of Elasticity Problems -

Click For Summary
Young's Modulus of Elasticity calculations for three materials reveal inconsistencies in stress and strain values, leading to varying modulus results. The correct approach involves using the slope of the stress-strain graph in the elastic region, which should ideally yield a consistent Young's Modulus. However, the data suggests potential errors in strain measurements, as the stress-strain curves appear offset. To accurately determine Young's Modulus, it is recommended to focus on the linear portion of the graph and calculate the slope using the formula for gradient. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly interpreting the data and plotting the graphs to derive accurate material properties.

Still having problems finding which materials they are. Material Y young's modulus is 270 GPa and looking at the stress strain graph it has a UTS of 700 MPa. I can't find a material which matches this, please help. Chromium has a Young's Modulus of 279 GPa but i can't find the UTS anywhere.

Steel looks like a possibility.

Yeah i went for steel because the stress strain shows two yield points which is a common steel reflection. Now just material Z. My tutor said it should be between 500-600 Pascals but i can't get this value at all no matter which units i use?

Stress Strain
70 0.06
100 0.11
150 0.22
200 0.35
220 0.48

Thats material Z's Stress-Strain Data.

I fit a quadratic to these points, and got ~700 Pa at ~0 Pa stress. That should be good enough. If the units are really Pascals, I don't know of any materials with that low a Young's modulus.
