Modulus of Elasticity Applications

This document provides an overview of a course on machine design that includes a unit on the modulus of elasticity. It discusses key learning outcomes related to understanding the modulus of elasticity and how it differs from strength. It defines the modulus of elasticity as the slope of the linear elastic region of the stress-strain curve. Example modulus of elasticity values are given for various common materials like rubber, plastics, metals and graphene. The importance of considering the modulus of elasticity in material selection for applications involving stress analysis, deflection prevention, critical speed, buckling and prosthetics is also outlined.
