Young's Modulus of wood and glass

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Young's modulus values for various materials were discussed, providing specific measurements in gigapascals (GPa). The confirmed values are: Graphite - 12 GPa, Wood (hardwood) - 15 GPa, Steel - 210 GPa, Glass - 70 GPa, Titanium - 116 GPa, and Aluminum - 70 GPa. These values are essential for comparing the stiffness and elasticity of these materials in engineering applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Young's modulus and its significance in material science.
  • Familiarity with basic mechanical properties of materials.
  • Knowledge of units of measurement, specifically gigapascals (GPa).
  • Basic concepts of elasticity and stiffness in materials.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the applications of Young's modulus in engineering design.
  • Explore the mechanical properties of composite materials.
  • Learn about the testing methods for measuring Young's modulus.
  • Investigate the effects of temperature and environmental conditions on material properties.
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, mechanical engineers, and students studying material properties will benefit from this discussion, particularly those interested in comparing the elasticity of different materials.

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
