Episode 226: Preparation for Materials Topic
From the Institute of Physics, these resources focus on some important mechanical properties of materials. They provide a good opportunity for calculations using scientific notation as well as unit conversions.
The learning episodes in this series include:
Episode 227: Hooke’s law
Episode 228: The Young modulus
Episode 229: Stress-strain graphs
The aims of this topic are to enable students to:
1. interpret stress-strain graphs
2. measure the Young modulus of a selection of materials
3. solve problems involving the Young modulus
4. compare materials by comparing their stress-strain graphs.
