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 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 ...

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 ...
