    How Much Force Can a Human Femur Withstand Before Breaking?

    Young's modulus for bone is 1.5x10^10 N/m^2 and that bone will fracture if more than 1.5X10^8 N/m^2 is exerted. What is the max force that can be exerted on the femur if the effective diameter is 2.5cm? Y=F/A 1.50x10^8N/m^2 =\frac{F}{\pi (0.0125m^2)^2} F=73631N is that correct? if...

    Alternate to standard tensile for determining young's modulus & yield

    Hi All, I have been working on a product development project and have run into a snag that I was hoping I could get some advice on. We need to determine the mechanical properties of a thin-walled nickel tube. Specifically young's modulus and yield strength. The current wall thickness...

    What is the explanation for this discrepancy?

    When I calculate the Bulk modulus for a metall with the free electron model I get a value that is twice the experimental value. I find this strange. With the free electron model i don't get the contribution from the ion cores and the bound electrons, right? Do these have a negavite...

    Why the modulus signs when integrating f'(x)/f(x)?

    I am able to proove to myself, through generalised substitution, that the integral of f'(x)/f(x) is lnf(x)+c, but where do the modulus signs come from? ie - The accepted integral is ln|f(x)|+c, not lnf(x)+c Thanks in advance. :smile:

    Short definition of young's modulus?

    Can somebody give me a short defination of youngs modulus? I think its the way a material acts under pressure, is this correct?

    Capacitance, Charge Density, and Young's Modulus

    I've done a search for some help on my problem, but I haven't seen anything resemble it. Anyway my question is the following: Not all dielectrics that separate the plates of a capacitor are rigid. For example, the membrane of a nerve axon is a bilipid layer that has a finite compressibility...

    Young's modulus of the material

    Hello again, I don't understand how to derive equations. #1 C = YI / r Y = Young's modulus of the material r = radius of curvature of the neutral surface I = geometrical moment of inertia of the cross section of the beam C = bending moment #2 I = wt^3 / 12 I = moment of inertia...

    Young's modulus problem - need a hint

    Young's modulus problem -- need a hint There are two wires, one brass the other copper, both 50 cm long and 1.0 mm diameter. They are somehow connected to form a 1m length. A force is applied to both ends, resulting in a total length change of 0.5 mm. Given the respective young's moduluses of...

    Youngs Modulus and Elastic Modulus

    I am doing my A2 physics coursework of the bending of cantilevers [zz)] I hung masses on a steel bar and measured the deflection, and then used a formula to calculate the Youngs Modulus of the steel, but the answer I got was way out - 9.6X10^9 instead of 200X10^9. Is this because I calculated...

    Young's Modulus of wood and glass

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the young's modulus of: Graphite, Wood, Steel, Glass, Titanium, and Aluminium... I know this is a strange thing to ask, but it would really help me understand more fully the way Graphite compares with other materials. Search engines...

    Determining the Equal Increase in Length of Two Fixed Rods Under Applied Forces

    youngs modulus... there are two rods rod1 , made of brass - length L1=2m area of cross section A1 2x10^-4 m^2 and young's modulus y1= 10^11 rod 2 , made of steel , length L2 , cross sectional area A2=10^-4 m^2 and youngs modulus y2 = 2x10^11 . the question is if the two rods are fixed end...
