Physics Information
This simulation demonstrates the stress-strain relationship for two different materials.
Key concepts:
- Young's Modulus (stiffness) = Slope of the linear portion = Y = stress/strain
- Stronger Material = Higher ultimate tensile strength (highest point on curve)
- Material A has higher Young's modulus (stiffer)
- Material B has higher ultimate strength (stronger)
