Your result
Young's modulus
Pa
Reference calculation or estimate for example inputs; assumptions and limitations apply.

What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| Axial stress (Pa) | Enter axial stress in Pa; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Axial elastic strain (1) | Enter axial elastic strain in 1; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
Read Young's modulus (Pa) in the units and model stated on this page. The formula modulus=stress/strain defines the relationship; measurement accuracy and model applicability are separate from numerical precision.
Common mistakes
- Mixing input units or changing the physical meaning of a variable without changing the model.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.
