Strength of MaterialsDefinition of Elastic ModulusEASY
Choose the correct answer
A
Stress/strain within elastic limit
B
Strain/stress within elastic limit
C
Ultimate stress/fracture strain
D
Yield stress/plastic strain
Correct Answer
A. Stress/strain within elastic limit
Why is this the answer?
Young's modulus E = σ/ε within the proportional (elastic) limit.
