Charts are presented which permit an estimate of settlement for various compression moduli, Poisson's ratio, and clay thickness.

The compression modulus is difficult to measure experimentally because of the thin, fragile nature of bilayers and the consequently low forces involved.

Field measurements of settlement are compared with values computed using compression moduli determined both from consolidation and compression tests in the laboratory.

The area compression modulus K, bending modulus K, and edge energy , can be used to describe them.

The bending modulus, compression modulus and bilayer thickness are related by such that if two of these parameters are known the other can be calculated.

Key words: sand, stress–strain behaviour, triaxial test, direct simple shear test, shear modulus, triaxial compression modulus.

Wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) provides a basic measure of polymer chain formation, which is seen to correlate closely with the compression modulus as it develops during cure.

Cracking in soils that are undergoing drying is controlled by soil suctions and by soil properties such as compression modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear strength, tensile strength, and specific surface energy.

Thus, a material with a high Young's modulus is very rigid.

Young's modulus is not always the same in all orientations of a material.

A material whose Young's modulus is very high can be approximated as rigid.

This Young's modulus does not vary with temperature nor the cultivation process used.

The test results indicate that the Young's modulus decreases with increasing swelling.

These parameters are defined in terms of Young's modulus.

The first plot on the right shows density and Young's modulus, in a linear scale.

Materials are therefore sought that have a small temperature coefficient of Young's modulus.

Young's modulus is the stress divided by the strain.

This also implies that Young's modulus is always zero.

Elasticity is inversely related to the Young's modulus of the material.

An example would be the dependence of Young's modulus on the direction of load.

If a constant stress is maintained on such a material, the strain will change with a changing Young's modulus.

Thus performance of a beam in tension will depend on Young's modulus divided by density.

However, it has lower young's modulus and fracture toughness with brittle nature.

A constant Young's modulus applies only to linear elastic materials.

Young's modulus can vary somewhat due to differences in sample composition and test method.

The natural frequency of this vibration is measured to calculate Young's modulus.

For many purposes this is quite sufficient and the values of Young's modulus obtained compare well with those from other tests.

The Young's modulus of a material can be used to calculate the force it exerts under specific strain.

The string would have to have a high value of Young's modulus to prevent it stretching too much.

Young's modulus has been repeatedly used to characterize the mechanical properties of many tissues in the human body.

The quantity E is the elastic Young's modulus of the material.

The critical height depends on the Young's modulus, mismatch size, and surface tension.

It then displays a quantitative line of tissue stiffness data (the Young's modulus).
