How to use this tool

  1. Enter stress, strain.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Young’s modulus = stress/strain.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using stress = 200000000 Pa, strain = 0.001 m/m, the result is 200000000000 Pa. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Only applies in the linear elastic region. An idealized educational model using the stated SI units. Real systems may need additional forces, losses or experimental measurements. Not a safety or equipment specification.

Common questions

Which inputs does this calculation need?
