Explanation

This simulation shows a typical stress-strain curve for different materials, demonstrating their mechanical properties under tension.

Young's Modulus (E) represents the stiffness of a material in the elastic region, calculated as the slope of the stress-strain curve in this region.

Yield Strength is the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Beyond this point, the material will not return to its original shape when the load is removed.

The curve also shows the ultimate tensile strength (highest point) and fracture point where the material breaks.
