12. Calculation formula of Young's modulus

12. Calculation formula of Young's modulus Symbol description and unit
(1-1) Young's modulus E=σ/ε   〔kgf/mm2
E=
σ: Tensile (compressive) stress   〔kgf/mm2
ε: Strain in the stress direction
(1-2) Young's modulus E=P*L/(A*L')   〔kgf/mm2
E=
P: Tensile (compressive) load〔kgf〕
L : Initial length of material 〔mm〕
A: Cross-sectional area 〔mm2
L':Length of expansion (tension) and contraction (compression)〔mm〕
(2)Strain in the stress direction ε=L'/L
ε=
L': Length of expansion (tension) and contraction (compression)〔mm〕
L:Initial length of material 〔mm〕
