Stress-Strain Properties Calculator

Calculate modulus of resilience, approximate toughness, and elastic strain limit from E, σ_y, σ_UTS, and fracture strain

Stress-Strain Properties Calculator

Derived Properties

Modulus of Resilience
0.1103
MJ/m³ = σ_y² / (2E)
Approx. Toughness
109.15
MJ/m³ = (σ_y + σ_UTS)/2 × ε_f
Elastic Strain Limit
1.050e-3
ε_y = σ_y / E (m/m)

Resilience: Energy absorbed per unit volume up to yield point — area under elastic portion of stress-strain curve.

Toughness: Approximate total energy absorbed to fracture — trapezoidal area under stress-strain curve.

Elastic Strain Limit: Maximum strain that can be recovered elastically.
