The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...
A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...
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% ...
