The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...
Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...
