What is the modulus of elasticity of No. 16 I-beam?

Answer:

When the material is in the elastic deformation stage, its stress and strain should be changed into a positive proportion (that is to say, according to Hooke's law), and the coefficient of proportionality is called the elastic modulus. The elastic modulus of the unit is dyne per square centimeter. "Modulus of elasticity" is a physical quantity describing the elasticity of matter. It is a general term. It can be expressed as "Young's modulus", "shear modulus", "bulk modulus" and so on.
The modulus of elasticity of No. 16 I-beam is 206000 N/mm2.Generally speaking, the elastic body exerts an external function, and the elasticity experiences the change of the shape (called strain). The general definition of the elastic modulus is that the stress is divided by the strain.
