Young's modulus

Submitted by wanbot on

Hi all,

I have this confusing thought for a quite long time. 

Is there any relation between the time-independent Young's modulus with the time-dependent Young's modulus (instantaneous and equilibrium moduli or loss and storage moduli)?

If yes, what is the equation to relate them?

So many terminologies which make this confusion!

Please help.

ABAQUS unit conversion for nanometer length.

Submitted by wanbot on

Hi all,

I ran a pre-buckling analysis using ABAQUS.  I chose nanometer as my length unit. So for the Young's modulus, since my sample has 100 GPa for the Young's modulus, I put 0.0000001 as the value for the Young's modulus under the material property in the ABAQUS.

However, the resulted eigenvalue (~2 nN) was not as what I expected (~2uN). Based on the calculation based on the Euler buckling theory, the critical load should be around 2 uN.
