Young's Modulus is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid substances. It describes the relationship between longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain. It is a measure of the stiffness of a material.
The calculator uses the Young's Modulus formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the modulus of elasticity using hoop stress due to temperature fall, considering the dimensional relationship between tyre and wheel diameters.
Details: Young's Modulus is crucial for understanding material behavior under stress, designing structural components, and predicting material deformation under various loading conditions.
Tips: Enter hoop stress in Pascal, tyre diameter and wheel diameter in meters. All values must be valid (positive values, wheel diameter must be greater than tyre diameter).
Q1: What is the significance of hoop stress in this calculation?
A: Hoop stress represents the circumferential stress in cylindrical objects caused by internal or external pressure, which is essential for calculating Young's Modulus in this context.
Q2: Why is the difference between wheel and tyre diameters important?
A: The dimensional difference affects the stress distribution and strain characteristics, making it a critical factor in the modulus calculation.
Q3: What are typical Young's Modulus values for common materials?
A: Steel: ~200 GPa, Aluminum: ~70 GPa, Concrete: ~30 GPa, Rubber: ~0.01-0.1 GPa. Values vary based on material composition and treatment.
Q4: Can this formula be used for all materials?
A: This specific formula is designed for calculating Young's Modulus using hoop stress due to temperature fall in tyre-wheel systems and may not be universally applicable to all materials.
Q5: How does temperature affect Young's Modulus?
A: Generally, Young's Modulus decreases with increasing temperature as materials become less stiff at higher temperatures.
