Properties of Metals
The important information in this chapter is summarized below.
Hooke's Law states that in the elastic range of a material strain is
proportional to stress. It is measured by using the following equation:
d
P

Young's Modulus (Elastic Modulus) is the ratio of stress to strain, or
the gradient of the stress-strain graph. It is measured using the
following equation:
