Young's modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of the materials when force or compression is applied. Young's modulus relates to the elasticity of the material, which is ...

Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...
