Young's Modulus and Elasticity Study
Young's Modulus and Elasticity Study
OBJECTIVES
Find the functional relationship between stress and strain
unitary for the elastic zone.
Determine the Young's modulus of a wire of section
transversal circular, subjected to a tensile stress.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
When a solid at equilibrium experiences the presence of forces
external, undergoes changes in its dimensions. The magnitude of these
deformations and the forces applied to the solid allow us to calculate the
value of the elastic constant of the material that characterizes the
elastic properties of the solid.
The deformation that the solid undergoes depends on the type of force (tension or
understanding) to which it is subjected.
If it occurs between the limit of the elastic region and the breaking point
a great plastic deformation the material is called ductile. Without
embargo, if the rupture occurs shortly after the elastic limit the material
is called fragile.
MATERIALS
The following materials will be used:
Support from the Young module team
Wire with a circular cross-section
Vernier digital
Objects with a mass of 1kg
Table holder
Micrometer screw
Tape measure
Bubble level
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
1.- Level the support of the Young module equipment to the horizontal plane,
with the support screws and the bubble level.
2.- Adjust the wire with the fixing screw that is at the part
team leader.
3.- Place the tool holder at the lower end of the equipment.
4.- Tension the wire by adding an additional weight to the weight holder.
5.- Measure the initial length of the wire (do not include the fasteners).
6.- Use the micrometer screw to measure the diameter of the section
transversal circular of the wire.
7.- Turn on and set the digital vernier to zero.
8.- Increase the masses appropriately on the mass holder, record
the increase in the length of the wire observed in the vernier
digital.

1.- What physical interpretation do the parameters A and B of the fit have?
by the method of least squares?
R.-The parameter 'A' is the result of the error made in the measurements and the
impressions of the instruments and the equipment. On the other hand, when comparing
We have the equations that the parameter 'B' is the value of Young's Modulus.
2.- Based on the value found for the Young's Modulus, indicate from
what material can be treated, comparing the heat with the data
published in tables. Find the percentage difference between
both values.
R.-Because the deformation is not uniform and varies according to the position and that
it complicates the calculations, also if the deformation of the section is considered
Transversally, the functional relationship would not be linear, therefore we could not obtain.

6.- In general, is the Young's modulus the same for the force?
tensor and compression?
It is the same as long as it does not exceed the elastic zone.
