EXPERIMENT # 2

Firstly take aluminum and secondly take mild steel but in each case firstly we note
the length I, breadth b and height h of the beam and then mark a line on the beam
and set it on center and after this we set dial gauge at the bottom of beam.and
loaded the beam at its center with increasing the weight one by one.and note the
defelection in the beam at every weight and after this also note the value of
unloading and find the average at each point .and put this in formula and obtained
the young modulus.

YOUNG MODULUS:

Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a measure of the stiffness of

a solid material. It is a mechanical property of linearelastic solid materials. It defines
the relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain (proportional
deformation) in a material. 

The Young's Modulus of a material is a fundamental property of every material that

cannot be changed.  It is dependent upon temperature and pressure however.

The Young's Modulus (or Elastic Modulus) is in essence the stiffness of a material. 

In other words, it is how easily it is bended or stretched.

Young's modulus represents the factor of proportionality in Hooke's law, which

relates the stress and the strain. However, Hooke's law is only valid under the
assumption of an elasticand linear response.

Moment of inertia, I:
I=mr^2
 the moment of inertia of a beam, which is a constant determined by the beam's
cross-sectional shape and thickness.

Moment of inertia for rectangular section 

I = bh3 ∕ 12 

where h is the dimension in the plane of bending, i.e. in the axis in which the bending
moment is applied
