Youngs Modulus

Young's Modulus is a the measure of elasticity and stiffness of multiple materials such as bronze, concrete, nylon and other materials. It is meant to characterize diffrent materials depending on what their strain level is. How this is going to relate to our project is that we our testing concrete bunnies under a stress and elastic test and see how the concrete reacts.   

Elastic- The ability to return to the starting size when deformed or streched

 Plastic- The ability to be shaped or formed

Yield Point- The stress at which an elastic material under increasing stress ceases to behave elastically

Ultimate Strength- The maximum tensile stress that a material can withstand before rupture
