This paper presents a comparative analysis of the results obtained in static modulus of elasticity tests of plain concrete cylindrical specimens. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate ...

The use of lightweight concrete with expanded clay has increased as an alternative for reducing the self-weight of structures. Consequently, techniques that facilitate the analysis of the mechanical ...

Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a simple technique to measure the anisotropy of the Young's modulus of single crystal silicon using a coupled cantilever structure fabricated in the silicon. We ...

Elasticity measures the sensitivity of one economic variable in response to another. It is widely used in economics to understand how changes in prices, supply, and demand affect markets and ...

Animal studies have confirmed that tensile stress applied to the tendon results in a nonlinear though monotonic increase in ultrasound velocity (Kuo et al., 2001; Pourcelot et al., 2005a; ...

According to the law of demand, when the price of a product goes up, consumers will buy less of it and vice versa. The concept of elasticity measures how much less consumers will buy when the price ...

A conventional method to study the durability of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebars is to carry out tensile tests on the corroded GFRP bars. The degree of corrosion of the GFRP bars could be ...

It is difficult to take accurate measurements of the elastic modulus when it comes to thin films, because of what is called the substrate effect. In general, the depth of indentation is limited to 10% ...
