Young’s modulus is a numerical constant used to describe the elastic properties of a solid material, such as a metal bar, that is being subjected to tension or compression forces. It measures the ability of a sample to withstand changes in length and is also known as Modulus of Elasticity. It is only relevant when the Stress (force) is proportional to the Strain (displacement) and the material can return to its original state. Universal test machines from United along with our DragonFly UTS software package make calculating Young’s Modulus a simple, repeatable, and accurate test procedure.
United can help you with these and many other testing standards where Young’s Modulus is calculated, view our products here

Beverage can manufacturing is a high-speed, high-volume business. A single line can turn coil into thousands of beverage cans a minute, through cupping, drawing and ironing, trimming, decorating, internal coating, necking, flanging and palletizing. Every one of those steps must stay within tight tolerances, because a small drift multiplied across a fast line becomes a…

A modern beverage can manufacturing line runs at extraordinary speed, producing thousands of cans a minute. That speed is where the profit is, but it is also where the risk is. Traditional quality checks, such as the manual dimensional measurements of trimmed or necked cans are time consuming and based on small samples. They force…
