About this calculator

How it works

Elastic modulus, or Young modulus, is the slope of the linear elastic part of the stress-strain curve.

Formulas

Formulas used

Young modulus

E = stress / strain

Worked example

Example calculation

Young modulus

E = 250 MPa / 0.00125 = 200 GPa

Reference

What the results mean

Elastic modulus

Axial stiffness in the elastic region.

Compliance

The reciprocal of modulus, indicating elastic flexibility.

Assumptions and limits

Before using the result

Inputs are treated as representative engineering values from a test, datasheet, or early design estimate.
Material properties vary with grade, heat treatment, temperature, strain rate, moisture, manufacturing route, and test method.
Use verified material data, applicable standards, safety factors, and qualified engineering judgement for final design or failure analysis.
