Representing effort as a function of the
unit deformation for a metal we obtain a
characteristic curve similar to the one shown
in the figure.
During the first part of the curve, the effort
it is proportional to the unit deformation, we are
in the elastic region. When the
effort, the material returns to its original length. The
a straight line ends at a point called limit
elastic.
If the effort continues to increase, the unit deformation increases rapidly,
but when the effort is reduced, the material does not regain its initial length. The length that
corresponds to a null effort is now greater than the initial0, and it is said that the
the material has acquired a permanent deformation.
The material deforms up to a maximum, termed the breaking point. Between the limit
From elastic deformation, plastic deformation occurs at the breaking point.
If a great event occurs between the limit of the elastic region and the breaking point
plastic deformation the material is called ductile. However, if the break occurs
shortly after the elastic limit, the material is called brittle.
Experiment
We will try to find the Young's modulus of a nylon thread of 0.50mm.

For this, we will hang a fishing line on the wall from a nail and measure its length.

Then we hang a dynamometer from the end, in this case, with a range of 10N and
a measurement of 0.2N and we start measuring the elongation ΔL every 1.0N.
We complete a ΔLy F table, with values from 0 to 10N each 1.0N and then
we build the columns of

We compare with the module of
