The semicircular curve for random-orientation short fibers in the same matrix, shows that the maximum modulus is reduced by about a factor of two but that the material modulus is direction independent ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed ...

Skoltech researchers have presented a new simple physical model for predicting the hardness of materials based on information about the shear modulus and equations of the state of crystal structures.

The charge accumulation along the Cr–Cr bonds when magnetism appears is crucial in determining the compressibility of the material ... in a change in the bulk modulus, that is, the fact that ...

The diagram (a) shows a 'uniaxial fiber-reinforced' composite material, and (b) shows how the stress on the composite is carried by the fibers and the matrix. In normal situations, the fiber has a ...
