| From: | To: |
Young's Modulus Cylinder is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid substances. It describes the relationship between longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain in cylindrical structures under pressure.
The calculator uses the Young's Modulus formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the Young's Modulus by considering the circumferential stress, Poisson's ratio, longitudinal stress, and circumferential strain in a cylindrical structure.
Details: Young's Modulus is crucial for understanding material stiffness and deformation characteristics under stress, which is essential in engineering design and structural analysis of cylindrical components.
Tips: Enter circumferential stress in Pascal, Poisson's ratio (typically between 0.1-0.5), longitudinal stress in Pascal, and circumferential strain. All values must be valid positive numbers.
Q1: What is the typical range for Young's Modulus in metals?
A: Young's Modulus for most metals ranges from 45 GPa to 400 GPa, with steel typically around 200 GPa and aluminum around 70 GPa.
Q2: How does Poisson's Ratio affect the calculation?
A: Poisson's Ratio accounts for the lateral contraction when a material is stretched, affecting how stress distributes in different directions within the material.
Q3: What is circumferential strain?
A: Circumferential strain represents the change in circumference relative to the original circumference of the cylinder under stress.
Q4: When is this formula most applicable?
A: This formula is particularly useful for thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessels and pipes subjected to internal fluid pressure.
Q5: What are the limitations of this calculation?
A: The formula assumes linear elastic behavior and may not accurately represent materials with non-linear stress-strain relationships or complex loading conditions.
