New research around muscle elasticity offers some surprising insights for marathon runners—and could explain how "super shoes ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

The elastic moduli of the cornea, sclera, and limbus for different corneal eccentricities (e) and varying levels of intraocular pressure (IOP) were modelled in order to determine how the rheological ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...

It is difficult to take accurate measurements of the elastic modulus when it comes to thin films, because of what is called the substrate effect. In general, the depth of indentation is limited to 10% ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...

Young's modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of the materials when force or compression is applied. Young's modulus relates to the elasticity of the material, which is ...

Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...

Nanoindentation is a measurement technique which is important in measuring Young’s modulus and hardness in thin films and any other situations involving the measurement of limited amounts of material.
