YOUNGS MODULUS OF WIRES APPARATUS

YOUNGS MODULUS OF WIRES APPARATUS: Clamps wires up to Ø 1.2mm (18swg)

•  This Youngs Modulus apparatus is capable of a great degree of sensitivity and accuracy.
•  It consists of two metal frames connected by a pivoted link which also carries a spirit level.
•  Each frame is 170 x 47mm overall.
•  The total depth of the complete assembly being about 75mm.
•  The wires under test are held in self-centering steel chucks which will clamp wires up to Ø 1.2mm (18 swg).
•  A micrometer head reading to 0.01mm is provided for readjusting the spirit level.
•  The apparatus is supplied complete with a ceiling bracket carrying a pair of chucks.
•  A counterpoise weight and suitable wire are provided.
•  Slotted weights not included.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."...Young's modulus (or the Young modulus) is a mechanical property of solid materials that measures the tensile or compressive stiffness when the force is applied lengthwise. It is the elastic modulus for tension or axial compression. Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of the stress (force per unit area) applied to the object and the resulting axial strain (displacement or deformation) in the linear elastic region of the material.

Although Young's modulus is named after the 19th-century British scientist Thomas Young, the concept was developed in 1727 by Leonhard Euler. The first experiments that used the concept of Young's modulus in its modern form were performed by the Italian scientist Giordano Riccati in 1782, pre-dating Young's work by 25 years.[1] The term modulus is derived from the Latin root term modus, which means measure.....")
